title = "Fluid structure interactions for blast wave mitigation",
abstract = "The dynamic response of a free-standing plate subjected to a blast wave is studied numerically to investigate the effects of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in blast wave mitigation. Previous work on the FSI between a blast wave and a free-standing plate has assumed a constant atmospheric pressure in the back of the plate and neglected the resistance caused by the shock wave formation due to the receding motion of the plate. This paper develops an FSI model which includes the resistance caused by the shock wave formation in the back of the plate. The numerical results show that the resistance to the plate motion is especially pronounced for a light plate, and as a result, the previous model over-predicts the mitigation effects of FSI.",
