Abstract

This paper focuses on the cavitation effect on nonlinear elastoplastic deformation rectangular aluminum plate subjected to underwater explosion loading. Cavitation is a phenomenon that may be occurred for plates in the process of underwater explosion forming. The total pressure of the explosion becomes zero at the cavitation time, so that the governing equations of motion will be different before and after the cavitation. As a result, in terms of analysis and design, the cavitation time is significant in studying the behavior of a rectangular plate at underwater explosive loading. Based on Hamilton principle and variation method the nonlinear equations of motion of an underwater rectangular plate subjected to explosive loading are obtained. Exact linear dynamic response of plate is derived by employing the eigen function and nonlinear dynamic response of plate is derived by employing the finite difference method (FDM). The linear and nonlinear work hardening material modeling is considered to define the elastoplastic stress–strain relations. Return mapping algorithm is applied to calculate the stress and strain in any steps of loading. Then, the displacement, velocity and generated stress of plate during cavitation time are calculated. Using von Mises yield criterion, one can distinguishes the cavitation with in elastic or plastic regimes. By recognizing the time of cavitation in the range of elastic or plastic, the displacement and velocity field of plate are determined in duration of explosive loading. Results show that the cavitation time is on the order of 5–10 μs. Depending on amount of charge mass and stand-off, the cavitation time may occur in elastic or plastic regime. The results obtained of linear exact solution considering the linear work hardening material modeling are compared to results obtained of FDM considering the linear and nonlinear work hardening material modeling.
