Direct Lightning Effects

Direct Lightning Effects is a phenomenon in lightning protection studies referring to the immediate and primary physical impacts—such as thermal, mechanical, and electromagnetic forces—induced by the direct attachment of a lightning discharge to a structure or material, distinguishing it from secondary or indirect effects that arise from coupling or downstream consequences.
