Proven Results

Field Tests

Cymat Technologies contracted a world leading third party test facility to characterize SmartSheild™ and its ability to attenuate high speed blast impulses. The test matrix included 20 blast events encompassing a range of thicknesses and densities of Cymat’s SmartSheild™ material.

Each blast event demonstrated:

SmartSheild™ is strain rate insensitive

SmartSheild™ shows a reduction of G loading to a ratio of 10 to 1 2 full scale field tests were performed

100 kg TNT @ 10 m
900 kg TNT @ 21 m

In the tests the SmartSheild™ lined concrete beams resulted in minor cracks to the structure compared to the uncovered beam that sustained significant cracking. The blast events demonstrated:

SmartSheild™ shows a reduction in the μstrain by 50% (4000 to 2000 μstrain)
