Designing systems to mitigate the eff ects of explosive events requires a robust understanding of the loading imposed by the expected threat.The development of reliable constitutive models for protective structures and burial media also requires careful characterisation to high pressures. Spatial and temporal variation of blast loading: CoBLUnique testing facilities developed at The University of Sheffi eld enable high-pressure multi-axial material testing, and allow the temporal and spatial variation of blast loading on a target to be quantifi ed for specifi c confi gurations of explosives and burial conditions.
