Abstract
In this paper, a simple procedure to design a blast resistant wheel is presented. Finite element analysis is employed to provide preliminary evaluations on the blast resistance of the wheel; the issues of such work are analyzed and the results are shown in order to prove the validity of the proposed procedure. The analysis is carried out in order to avoid unnecessary experimental tests, without requiring a high computational burden. The method and the setup used can he adopted to design any blast resistant mechanical component intended to work under the same conditions. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
