Penny, an SUSC assistant professor of physics, spent the summer as a participant in the 1985 U.S. Air Force Summer Faculty Research Program. Penny was stationed at Tyndall Air Force Base near Pensacola, Fla., where he worked bn a project to make Air Force facilities safe from conventional blast weapons. His particular area of research involved the reduction of pressure waves in composite wall sections. He used the finite element computer code, ABAQUS, to model a composite wall section and to study the passage of pressure waves through it. The origin of the pressure wave typically results from the detonation of a conventional weapon, so this research will be useful in the design of protective structures for the armed services, he said. Sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), the summer research program is conducted by Universal Energy Systems, Inc.
