This research has been inspired by security concerns due to the recent increase in the terrorist threat to gas and crude oil transportation around the world, especially in regions that are of significant value for the energy supplies. Computational mechanics methods will be used in this research to apply shock wave analysis for possible damage assessment of the affected pipelines. These methods may be also used for pipelines at power plants, which are usually placed high on the homeland security priority list. This study is primarily focused on the behaviour of some type of pipeline elements existing in gas pipeline system which can be subjected to the shock wave produced by the detonation of highly explosive (HE) materials. In this kind of studies the numerical coupling procedure describing interaction between gas and solid domain was implemented. Outcomes of this research are very important in preventing damage progression of pipelines under the blast loading.
