Blast Loading - BLOAD - 13 - 15 Feb 2012
Suitable For
The course is suitable for those with an engineering degree or similar qualification who are interested in developing this knowledge.
Course Aim
The aim of the course is to enable students to quantify blast loads from a variety of different explosive sources including condensed high explosive and nuclear devices, to appreciate both the effect such loading has on different target structures and how the response of such structures is analysed.
