(author)Over the last three years TNO has explored the possibilities of fiber-reinforced composites to provide vehicle underbelly protection against blast loading. This work consists of three parts: • Numerical analysis of full-scale blast loading conditions in comparison to scaled blast loading conditions. • The development of a test method suitable to...conference paper 2018

Roebroeks, G.H.J.J. (author), Hoogland, J. (author), Weerheijm, J. (author), van Daelen, E.C.M. (author), van de Kasteele, R.M. (author), Ierschot, P.G.A. (author)This paper shows how standard fiber-reinforced composite materials have limited resistance against blast loading. Their relatively high brittleness in comparison to metals causes them to fail early under out-of-plane blast loading. Their failure appears to be mainly caused by exceedance of strain to failure by local bending, fully absorbing the...conference paper 2018

(author)The need for transportation and storage of CO2 in bulk quantities is likely to increase in the near future. The handling of CO2 on such scale gives rise to a number of technological challenges and safety aspects. The accidental rupture of a vessel containing liquefied CO2 may lead to a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE). Whether...article 2013
