The contribution compares the response of envelope of chosen structure to the effects of transient load. The load was caused by air blast wave due to deflagration of methane-air mixture. The paper deals with interaction of incident blast wave and envelope structure. Considering blast courses obtained from experiments, two simplified models of load were developed. Load, defined by both load functions, was applied to 3D numerical model of the structure. Calculated result values of deflections of wall elements were compared to experimentally obtained deflections.

High Explosive Mortar bombs are used on the battlefield for destroying the manpower, non-armoured equipment and shelters. The paper describes an original experimental and numerical approach regarding the potential threats caused by the detonation of 120 mm HE mortar bombs. The evaluation of the bomb effect presumes the fulfillment of experimental trials that focus on two physical mechanisms which appear after the detonation of the cased high explosive. These mechanisms are the shock wave generation and the fragments propulsion, which were also studied by a numerical model that provides results over the bomb fragmentation mode. The novelty of the paper consists in the calibrated 3D numerical model confirmed by the experimental data, which provides information over the fragmentation process of the case and the initial velocity of its fragments, proving that the main threat of this type of ammunition is the effect through metal fragments. The results of numerical simulation and experimental data are used for their comparative analysis and the assessment of the phenomena.

Abstract An analysis of seismic field data from surface shots in two radically different geologic environments shows significantly different seismic phases at the two sites. At the first site, which has a layered sedimentary section, five distinct phases are observed: the P-wave first arrival; a complex wave train consisting of higher mode Rayleigh waves; a precursor to air-blast wave; the air blast wave; and the air-coupled Rayleigh waves. Records from the second site, overlying an unlayered mass of igneous rocks, show only three distinct seismic phases: the P-wave first arrival; a simple wave train of fundamental-mode Rayleigh and Love waves; and an air blast wave. Peak ground velocity, based on the average of the three largest amplitudes in the surface waves preceding the air blast wave, scales well with yield for both sites. Measurements of peak ground velocity may be used to estimate yields of explosive charges at either site within a factor of about 2 if the source distance is known. The scaling relationship appears to be valid over a wide range of yields and site geological conditions.

The iron ladle is a kind of large metallurgy equipments and used for collecting and carrying iron water. According to the factual demand of produce, some corporation wanted to enlarge the capacity of the idle from 65t to 75t only by increasing the height of ladle. This paper is aimed at the changing idle which the capacity is 75t and built up its 3D numerical model. According to the constant of the iron water capacity, it used the method of modeling to find the angle of the ladle taphole and made sure the ladle couldn't overturn automatically by studying the process of overturning. Then this paper worked out the overturning moment so that it could provide mechanics data for the analysis of the finite element and the reformation of the corporation.
