Abstract

This work is a review of selected own research in the field of resistance of selected built protective components for impacts by projectiles and air blast wave caused by the explosion of explosive material or air-fuel mixture. Background of those research were previously published (Kruszka and Rekucki, Appl Mech Mater 82:422–427, 2011; Kruszka and Rekucki, Resistance analysis of protective doors, windows and built wall to the effect of impact, blast loading and burglary. In: Proceedings of 7th international symposium on impact engineering, 4–7 July 2010. Military University of Technology, Warsaw, pp 421–445, 2010). Experimental bullet-proof investigation results of two types of steel protective doors under the comparative perforation tests using various projectiles shot from short and long typical fire-arms are presented here. The protective windows are tested under a soft impact of 30 kg mass and under an aerial shock wave due to the explosion of an explosive charge and a fuel-air mixture. The structural material of the door glazing, is Polish standard building steel, while the window leaves – Polish architectural protective glass of P4A class and duplex hardened glass.
