The effect of bend radius on the impulse transfer characteristics of V-hulls

This work is based primarily on the effects of V-tip bend radii on the impulse transfer to V-plates subjected to localised blast loading. Three rigid V-plates with V-angles of 60°, 90° and 120° were designed and fabricated from steel plates. Blast tests with PE4 charges ranging from 19 g to 58 g at...
