...Jagadeep Thota; Mohamed B. Trabia; Brendan J. O’Toole; Ashok K. Ayyaswamy This paper proposes an optimization technique for increasing the structural integrity of a light-weight composite blast containment vessel. The vessel is cylindrical with two hemispherical ends. It has a steel liner...

... these models are also compared. A suitable modeling method is recommended based on these findings. Blast containment vessels can be an important tool for the temporary storage of explosive materials. These vessels could be used in emergency situations for containment of explosives in public places...
