This important book gives a thorough understanding of the science and application of blast protection and containment using composites. Composites provide an ideal material for blast protection as they can be engineered to give different levels of protection by varying the reinforcements and matrices. The book covers blast simulation and modelling and the response of composites to blast loadings. It also includes the retrofitting of composite blast mitigation materials to existing structures, design of blast absorbing materials, protection of buildings, protection of vehicles and composite blast walls.
