Guarding with Cork: A Sustainable Solution for Protection, Selim Gürgen, Editör, Springer Nature, Basel, ss.71-86, 2024
Cellular materials (both natural and artificial) are characterized by their high-energy-absorbing capacities compared to other materials, making them fit for anti-blast applications. Cellular-based structures are widely used in energy protector applications such as automotive industry, aerospace, blast protection, personal protection, building and infrastructure, sports equipment, and marine applications. When exposed to explosive loads, their cells can dissipate kinetic energy of the blast with a large deformation in their structure. Due to their unique cellular structure, natural cork materials were recently discovered to be suitable for high-energy absorbing and anti-blast applications. Although cork material may not be the primary choice in applications of high explosive energy, it can be used in combination with other materials as a layer of absorbing shock and reducing transmission in structures such as advanced composites and multilayer structures. In this chapter, the blast mitigation properties of cork composites are reviewed.
