Sandwich structures are shown to have better blast resistance when compared to the solid metallic plate for the same weight. Hybrid Sandwich Panel (HSP) further increases the blast resistance with addition of hyper-elastic material in between the face sheet and core. In this paper, the studied HSPs...
