Deformation and fracture of cylindrical tubes under detonation loading: A review of numerical and experimental analyses

Abstract

The dynamic load in tubes due to detonation has a number of applications, such as in oil pipeline systems and pulse detonation engines. Various experimental, analytical, and numerical investigations have been conducted to study the mechanical, thermo-mechanical, and fracture behavior of tubes under internal detonation loads. Regarding numerical analysis, different approaches such as interface cohesive element, mesh-free, and extended finite element methods have been used to model the propagation of crack(s) in a tube. This paper presents a review of relevant literature pertaining to numerical and experimental analyses of detonation-driven deformation and fracture, and of studies based on the analytical investigation of moving loads in detonation tubes. The corresponding findings are discussed in detail, and possible avenues for future research are highlighted.

On the vibrational responses of thin FGM tubes subjected to internal sequential moving pressure

“…More recently, analyzing detonation loads under different conditions were developed by Mirzaei et al [18,19]and Malekan et al [20,21]. A thorough review on the numerical and experimental analyses of tubes subjected to detonation loading was presented by Malekan et al [22].…”

Experimental and Numerical Study on the Mechanical Behavior of Composite Steel Structure under Explosion Load

“…Designing high-value targets such as those for large buildings, bridges, and protection projects is necessary, as it ensures their safety under a strong impact load. Thus, the study of the dynamic response of structures under explosion load has important research value [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Most engineering structures are composed of basic components such as plates, shells, and beams, and their dynamic characteristics under explosion load will determine the impact resistance of the structure [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”
