title: DYNABlast 1.1 – Development of an educational software to simulate blast loads in plates
abstract: Explosions, such as the one in the port of Beirut (Lebanon), have become increasingly frequent, highlighting the need for more in-depth studies on the dynamic behavior of structures subjected to blast loads. In this context, DYNABlast 1.1 was developed in Matlab® environment as an analytical software to simulate the behavior of Kirchhoff plates under explosive loads, evaluating displacements, strains, stresses, and natural frequencies. The software uses a SDOF (Single Degree of Freedom) model ba
