Abstract
Motivated by recent efforts to mitigate blast loading using energy absorbing materials, this paper investigates the uniaxial crushing of cellular media in sandwich construction under impulsive pressure loading. The cellular core material is modeled using a rigid, perfectly-plastic, locking idealization, as in previous studies, and the front and back faces are modeled as perfectly rigid. Pressure loading is applied to the front face with the back face unrestrained. Predictions of this analytical model show excellent agreement with computational simulations using the explicit finite element code LS-DYNA. This analytical model is used to investigate the influence of the relative distribution of mass among the core and the front and back faces.Proceedings Title
