Blast effects on structures is an important topic in this modern age for many practising engineers, including structural engineers designing buildings for safety or weapons engineers attempting to destroy enemy infrastructure. Due to the large costs,... Read More about Scaled simulation of the blast effects on structures using LEGO blocks: A pilot study.

Effects of salt water on the ballistic protective performance of bullet-resistant body armour (2018)
Journal Article
Dodd, S., Malbon, C., Critchley, R., Lankester, C., O’Rourke, S., Corke, T., & Carr, D. (2019). Effects of salt water on the ballistic protective performance of bullet-resistant body armour. Police Journal, 92(3), 264-273. https://doi.org/10.1177/0032258X18809905

Bullet-resistant body armour is used by law enforcement agencies and military personnel worldwide, often in inclement weather. Some fibre types used in body armour perform poorly when wet, resulting in a reduced level of protection; this is why most...
