THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF INTERNAL BLAST WAVES IN SPHERES.
Abstract
This project is concerned with a theoretical study on the propagation of waves produced by an explosion in a spherical cavity in a metal. The purpose of such a study is to help find reliable criteria for extrapolating internal blast loading behavior to larger spherical containers. This study is being done concurrently with an experimental investigation on 7 inch and 10 inch spheres at BRL. Research includes; spherical elastic waves, spherical plastic waves, shock waves and detonation waves, and mathematical theory.
