I N TRODUCTION M OTIVATION
This work is a part of a larger research effort to better understand the combined effect of the It has been shown in literature that the time interval Δt, which represents the dif-
resulting blast wave and fragments impact following the detonation of a shrapnel bomb . This ference between the arrival time of blast and the projectile to the target, influ-
study presents insights into the establishment of a laboratory scale technique to generate a ences the dynamic behaviour of the structure. Most of the studies focus on the in-
combined effect of blast and projectile impact loading on a target. In order to reduce the fluence of this time interval on the structure. Not much focus is given on how to
complexity associated to the random nature of the shape of the projectiles, in a first ap- organize Δt in a laboratory scale technique.
proach, Steel Ball Bearings (SBB) are used. They are embedded in a spherical solid explosive,
which is detonated in free air and at the entrance of an Explosive Driven Shock Tube (EDST)
using a standard electrical detonator. A data base of the time interval Δt is obtained through
the experimental set-up. It has been demonstrated that the Δt is influenced by the charge and
projectile parameters (charge shape, charge mass, projectile size) and the Stand Of Distance
(SOD) from the centre of the explosion.

E XPERIMEN TAL WORK RESULTS

C ONCLUSIONS
 The establishment of a laboratory scale experimental technique to generate a repeatable combined blast and single fragment
impact loading.

 The investigation of charge and projectile parameters (charge shape, charge mass, projectile size) influence on the time interval
Δt.
