Corrected method for scaling the dynamic response of stiffened plate subjected to blast load

Kong, Xiangshao (author), Zhou, Hu (author), Kuang, Zheng (author), Zheng, Cheng (author), Li, X. (author), Wu, Weiguo (author), Guan, Zhongwei (author)

Test on a small scaled model is an effective approach to predict the dynamic response of full scale structure under blast loadings. However, the geometric dimensions of specimens cannot simply comply with complete geometrical similarity due to manufacture or test restrictions. It would result in the difference structural performance between...
