engineering related activities. In association with NIT, Agartala
ABOUT THE SHORT COURSE
This five days short term course is intended to cover
the theoretical and practical aspects of the recent
technological advancements made in analysis, design
and mitigation of blast loaded structures using
advanced materials. The speakers will initiate an
introduction to the concepts of disaster mitigation,
mitigation strategies to be adopted during the
planning, concepts of structural dynamics, advanced
materials and their properties for analysis and design
along with their behaviour under such situation. The
course will include blast phenomena and its
interaction with structures, their analysis and design.
Disaster mitigation and its preparedness is the need of
current scenarios. Blast induced loads on structures
are results of accidents in the industries and also from
evil minds. These disasters, if happened, may result in
devastating effect on infrastructure including
operational facilities, buildings, bridge etc. This will not
only cause monetary loss but importantly the loss of
lives. Hence, it is important to understand and design
the structures for their blast resistance in order to
safeguard infrastructure and human lives. Design of
blast resistant structures requires thorough
understanding on the structural dynamics, behaviour
of materials under high strain rate of loading and blast
analysis methodologies.
This course is proposed with an aim of educating the
participants for mitigation of disaster due to the blast.
This is intended to achieve through blast resistant
design aspects by making use of available commercial
finite element (FE) packages too. The course will
provide a unique opportunity to learn basics of blast
analysis of structures using the FE software and
subsequent design.
