blast loading on a plate
blast loading on a plate
(OP)
We will perform FEA analysis of a plate under blast load. In order to verify our analysis, we need theoretical or experimental solution of a plate under shock loading. This load can be distributed load or a point load. Our aim is to compare our FEA results by changing material data (yield stress dependancy on strain, strain rate, temperature), loading, loading time etc. Does anybody know such an article, solution, paper (theoretical, experimental)?

A cursory search on their website doesn't show anything, but I would expect that this is one of the most likely organizations to have this type of information (that would be readily available).
The US Army and Navy has this type of information, as do their British counterparts, but I doubt that it is generally available.
What FEA code are you planning on using (or do you have at your disposal)? Some of the codes provide benchmark examples with discussion.

I can't speak to Dytran, as I've never used the code. At least you're using an explicit code.
Good luck.
