Internal Blast Loading

Cylindrical shells are principal structural elements that are used for many purposes, such as offshore, sub-marine, and airborne structures. The nonlinear mechanics model of internal blast loading was established to predict the dynamic blast pressure of cylindrical shells. However, due to the complexity of the nonlinear mechanical model, the solution process is time-consuming. In this study, the nonlinear mechanics model of internal blast loading is linearized, and the dynamic blast pressure of cylindrical shells is solved. First, a mechanical model of cylindrical shells subjected to internal blast loading is proposed. To simplify the calculation, the internal blast loading is reduced to linearly uniform variations. Second, according to the stress function method, the dynamic blast pressure equation of cylindrical shells subjected to blast loading is derived. Third, the calculated results are compared with those of the finite element method (FEM) under different durations of dynamic pressure pulse. Finally, to reduce the errors, the dynamic blast pressure equation is further optimized. The results demonstrate that the optimized equation is in good agreement with the FEM, and is feasible to linearize the internal blast loading of cylindrical shells.

Elastic Responses

Strain growth is a phenomenon observed in the elastic response of containment vessels subjected to internal blast loading. The local dynamic response of a containment vessel may become larger in a later stage than its response in the earlier stage. In order to find out the possible mechanisms of the strain growth phenomenon, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of various vibration modes in cylindrical shells with different boundary conditions are obtained theoretically and numerically. The dynamic elastic responses of cylindrical shells subjected to internal blast loading are studied by theoretical analysis and finite element simulation using LS-DYNA. It is found that strain growth in cylindrical containment vessels is mainly caused by linear modal superposition and nonlinear modal coupling. The effects of the reflected blast shock waves and structural perturbation are discussed. The proposed theory for the strain growth mechanisms may guide the safe design of cylindrical containment vessels.
