20140116236Blast and Fragment Resistant Wall Sections Used Inside Structures Like Ships - A protective wall for use in a structure such as a ship comprises a first and second metal layer, with an armor plate in between and layers of elastomeric material between the armor plate and the first and second metal layer respectively. The first and second metal layer having a higher ductility than the armor plate, the armor plate being mounted between the first and second metal layer in a way that allows the first and second metal layers to stretch relative to armor steel plate at least in response to forces resulting from impact by fragments from an explosion. When an explosion occurs in a space bounded by the protective wall, the first and second metal layer deflect under the pressure pulses due to blasts, stretching relative to the armor plate. The armor plate blocks high speed fragments. The elastomeric material has a double function: it increases the resistance of the armor plate to fragments and it allows for separation of the armor plate from the first and second metal layer, allowing them to stretch.05-01-2014
