Abstract:

This report describes research activities undertaken to determine the blast resistance of novel materials proposed as an alternative to materials in current use in the transportation industry. The focus of the current study is a 3D woven S-2 glass fabric manufactured by 3TEX, Inc. The project was first initiated with the design and construction of a shock tube facility. The designed shock tube is capable of producing blasts in excess of the energy output of black powder. In addition, the relative performance of three-dimensional panels from 3TEX, Inc. was initiated. Post-mortem evaluations performed on those panels indicate that the use of superimposed lighter weight plies is preferable to using heavy weight multiple plies, and by far exceeds the performance of heavy single plies of the same thickness.
