The dynamic failures of flat and single-curved woven basalt/epoxy laminates subject to blast loading were investigated experimentally. Number of fiber layers ((0-90)9, (0-90)18 and (0-90)28) and radii of curvature (infinity, R = 500 mm and R = 250 mm) were considered for the laminates in the experim...
