The Mechanical Properties of the Materials

Piecewise Linear, Non-linear Plasticity Model for the Materials.

③ Blast Loading

Impulse Loading on the Structure wrt JSP 482 Regulation

Stress Levels of the Door after Internal Blast

④ Result

Blast from Inside the Cell

Maximum Displacement of the Door after Internal Blast

⑤ Conclusions

Based on the FEA calculation results (Stress, Displacement, etc.) overall sliding door structure is investigated with the given design and material information for two blast loading scenarios in accordance with JSP 482 Regulation4, one from outside the cell and one is inside the cell. Some risk is observed especially at the welding connections and localized stress points. However, for the material system, the threshold for stress and plastic strain is not exceeded. Measured maximum displacement values also lead to a conclusion that the door system is likely to be operable after blast loading. Under the highlight of the technical analysis the details of which are explained; it is found that the design under consideration can successfully withstand the given impulse and fulfills all requirements designated in the Ministry of Defense Explosives Regulations, JSP 482, Edition 4, January, 2013.

⑤ Conclusions

Based on the FEA calculation results (Stress, Displacement, etc.) overall swing door structure is investigated with the given design and material information for external blast loading scenario. Some risk is observed especially at the latches connecting the steel door plates and the frame. However, for the material system, the threshold for stress and plastic strain is not exceeded. Measured maximum displacement values also lead to a conclusion that the door system is likely to be operable after blast loading. Under the highlight of the technical analysis the details of which are explained; it is found that the design under consideration can successfully withstand the given impulse and fulfills all requirements designated in the Ministry of Defense Explosives Regulations, JSP 482, Edition 4, January, 2013.
