• Ballistic impact on concrete slabs: An experimental and numerical study 

      Kristoffersen, Martin; Toreskås, Oda Lunde; Dey, Sumita; Børvik, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The ballistic perforation resistance of 50 mm thick concrete slabs impacted by 20 mm diameter ogive-nose steel projectiles is investigated experimentally and numerically. Three commercially produced concretes with nominal ...
    • Behaviour of plated structures subjected to blast loading 

      Aune, Vegard; Børvik, Tore; Langseth, Magnus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      An experimental investigation using a new shock tube facility to study blast-load effects on thin aluminium plates is presented. The shock tube is designed to expose materials and structures to extreme loading conditions, ...
    • Connections between steel and aluminium using adhesive bonding combined with self-piercing riveting 

      Reil, Matthias; Morin, David; Langseth, Magnus; Knoll, Octavian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The multi-material design of modern car bodies requires joining technologies for dissimilar materials. Adhesive bonding in combination with self-piercing riveting is widely used for joining steel and aluminium structures. ...
    • Experimental tests and numerical simulations of ballistic impact on laminated glass 

      Osnes, Karoline; Holmen, Jens Kristian; Grue, Tormod Håøy; Børvik, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In this study, we investigate double-laminated glass plates under ballistic impact through experimental tests and numerical simulations. The experimental tests are used to determine the ballistic limit velocity and curve ...
    • Influence of fluid-structure interaction effects on the ductile fracture of blast-loaded steel plates 

      Aune, Vegard; Valsamos, Georgios; Casadei, Folco; Langseth, Magnus; Børvik, Tore (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      This work presents ongoing research on the influence of fluidstructure interaction (FSI) effects on the ductile crack growth in perforated steel plates subjected to blast loading. The FSI effects were studied numerically ...
    • Influence of material properties on the performance of blast-loaded steel plates with pre-cut defects 

      Elveli, Benjamin Stavnar; Børvik, Tore; Aune, Vegard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Experimental and numerical investigations are carried out to determine how thin steel plates with pre-cut defects behave under blast loading. The defects considered in this study are represented by four square holes, ...
    • Perforation of welded aluminum extrusions: Numerical prediction and experimental validation 

      Holmen, Jens Kristian; Børvik, Tore; Myhr, Ole Runar; Hopperstad, Odd Sture (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      A purely numerical procedure for predicting the perforation resistance of welded extruded AA6082-T6 aluminum profiles is presented in this study. The numerical work was conducted completely independent of the experimental ...
    • Shock Tube Testing and Modelling of Annealed Float Glass 

      Osnes, Karoline; Børvik, Tore; Hopperstad, Odd Sture (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Failure of glass is dominantly brittle, and is caused by microscopic flaws randomly distributed on the surface. Fracture mainly initiates in these flaws, and this leads to a high variability in the glass strength, which ...
