Hydrocodes » Explosive Interactions
Some close in effects are important . As an example we show a calculation of a quadrant of a land mine being centrally detonated and the products splitting the case and venting through. Fragments of case may be formed at this stage which may affect loading on structures.
If we are interested in blast effects we can look at the effect of the mine on a structure. In this case a steel plate as might be in the bottom of a vehicle. We see the development of the blast, the deformation of the plate and some late time venting through the plate.
