Abstract The article presents an approach to modeling the internal membrane pressure wave inside a sealed structure. During an explosion near a vehicle when a pressure wave reaches a hull, a pressure wave inside arises due to the hull’s bottom and the deformation of sides. They act like the piston - membrane. This membrane transfers the pressure impulse into the vehicle’s interior. A pressure increase causes the damage of internal organs or even death of occupants. In case of an armor penetration the pressure increase may be even larger. One of basic methods to protect a crew is to open hatches. However, such a method cannot be used in a contaminated area.

Coal Rock

Coal body is a type of fractured rock mass in which lots of cleat fractures developed. Its mechanical properties vary with the parametric variation of coal rock block, face cleat and butt cleat. Based on the linear elastic theory and displacement equivalent principle and simplifying the face cleat and butt cleat as multi-bank penetrating and intermittent cracks, the model was established to calculate the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of coal body combined with cleat. By analyzing the model, it also obtained the influence of the parameter variation of coal rock block, face cleat and butt cleat on the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of the coal body. Study results showed that the connectivity rate of butt cleat and the distance between face cleats had a weak influence on elastic modulus of coal body. When the inclination of face cleat was 90°, the elastic modulus of coal body reached the maximal value and it equaled to the elastic modulus of coal rock block. When the inclination of face cleat was 0°, the elastic modulus of coal body was exclusively dependent on the elastic modulus of coal rock block, the normal stiffness of face cleat and the distance between them. When the distance between butt cleats or the connectivity rate of butt cleat was fixed, the Poisson's ratio of the coal body initially increased and then decreased with increasing of the face cleat inclination.
