Experimental and numerical assessment of stress wave attenuation of metaconcrete rods subjected to impulsive loads

Metaconcrete contained engineered resonant aggregates has drawn much attention in recent years as it can mitigate vibration and stress wave propagation, which can potentially be used in construction for structure protection against impulsive loads. However, no experimental study on cement-based metaconcrete has been conducted to reveal the performance on mitigation of stress waves induced by impulsive loading. In this study, the performance of...
