Objectives

Detailed coupled gas/chemistry simulations of detonations Large scale simulations of pressure loadings using time-accurate CFDFluid/structure simulations under blast/impact loadingsCoating materials to help make structures blast/impact resistant – polyurea

Background – Blast resistant materials (polyurea)

PolyureaIntroduced by Texaco in 1989Known Advantages vs. Polyurethanes (traditional coatings)Applications

DoD – Civil InfrastructureDoD – other apps

Army/Navy – Spray on armor (Humvees)Navy – Ship hulls (U.S.S. Cole)

Other – Civil InfrastructureRail carsWater storage tanksChemical plant infrastructure
