• On the dynamic response of adhesively bonded structures 

      Lissner, Maria; Alabort, Enrique; Erice, Borja; Cui, Hao; Blackman, Bamber R. K.; Petrinic, Nik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Fracture mechanics experiments are used to investigate the rate-dependent failure of adhesively bonded structures under different deformation modes: I, II and I/II. First, the high-rate mechanical response of the adhesive ...
    • On the dynamic response of blast-loaded steel plates with and without pre-formed holes 

      Aune, Vegard; Valsamos, Georgios; Casadei, Folco; Langseth, Magnus; Børvik, Tore (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The dynamic response of blast-loaded steel plates is studied both experimentally and numerically. The blast loading was generated using a shock tube facility. This is an alternative to explosive detonations where the blast ...
    • Penetration of granular materials by small-arms bullets 

      Børvik, Tore; Dey, Sumita; Olovsson, L (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on the penetration of granular materials by small-arms bullets. In the experimental tests, five different types of granular material (0–2 mm wet sand, 0–2 mm dry sand, ...
    • Perforation of laminated glass: An experimental and numerical study 

      Osnes, Karoline; Holmen, Jens Kristian; Grue, Tormod Håøy; Børvik, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that is frequently used in blast-resistant windows and bullet-proof glazing. However, few studies concerning the perforation resistance of laminated glass exist in the open literature. ...
    • Perforation of welded aluminum components: Microstructure-based modeling and experimental validation 

      Holmen, Jens Kristian; Børvik, Tore; Myhr, Ole Runar; Fjær, Hallvard Gustav; Hopperstad, Odd Sture (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Perforation of welded aluminum structures by small-arms bullets is studied both experimentally and numerically in this paper. From the chemical composition, artificial aging history, and welding procedure, the spatial ...
    • Performance of thin blast-loaded steel plates after ballistic impact from small-arms projectiles 

      Elveli, Benjamin Stavnar; Berstad, Torodd; Børvik, Tore; Aune, Vegard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      It is known from real blast-load events that the combined effect of fragment impact and blast loading is more severe than the effect of the blast loading alone. The present study investigates this effect by comparing the ...
    • Reconstruction of surface pressures on flat plates impacted by blast waves using the Virtual Fields Method 

      Kaufmann, Rene; Olufsen, Sindre Nordmark; Fagerholt, Egil; Aune, Vegard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      An accurate description of surface pressure loads imposed by blast waves is crucial for the design of the next generation of blast-resistant structures. However, experimental techniques for non-intrusive, full-field surface ...
    • Square aluminum tubes subjected to oblique loading 

      Reyes, Aase Gavina Roberg; Langseth, Magnus; Hopperstad, Odd Sture (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003)
      The behavior and energy-absorbing capability of obliquely loaded square thin-walled aluminum columns in alloy AA6060 were studied through quasi-static experiments and FEM-analyses with LS-DYNA. The specimens were clamped ...
    • Static and dynamic testing and modelling of aluminium joints with flow-drill screw connections 

      Sønstabø, Johan Kolstø; Morin, David; Langseth, Magnus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      A new component test suited for quasi-static and dynamic testing of flow-drill screw connections is presented. The component specimen was made of two different aluminium alloys, and included connections with two material ...
    • Testing and modelling of stiffened aluminium panels subjected to quasi-static and low-velocity impact loading 

      Morin, David; Kårstad, Bente Larsen; Skajaa, B; Hopperstad, Odd Sture; Langseth, Magnus (Journal article, 2017)
      The behaviour and failure of stiffened panels made of the aluminium alloy AA6082-T6 is investigated under quasi-static and low-velocity impact loading conditions. The strain rate and inertia effects are found to be negligible ...
    • Transient pressure loading of clamped metallic plates with pre-formed holes 

      Rakvåg, Knut Gaarder; Underwood, NJ; Schleyer, GK; Børvik, Tore; Hopperstad, Odd Sture (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      The combined effect of blast and impact loading against protective structures is still not fully understood. In this paper, the motivation is to investigate the combined effect of pressure and fragment loading on steel ...
