Numerical Simulation of the Nonlinear Deformation and Progressive Destruction of Composite Cylindrical Shells at Nonaxisymmetric Explosive Actions

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

On the basis of the applied theory of shells, a resolving system of equations is formulated and a method for the numerical solution of problems of nonlinear nonaxisymmetric deformation and fracture of composite cylindrical shells at explosive loadings of different intensity is developed. A model of progressive destruction of a composite shell based on the degradation of stiffness characteristics of individual layers in a multilayer package is elaborated, which depends on the fracture mode of the binder and fiber. The reliability of the technique considered is proved by comparing calculation results with known experimental data. Results of an analysis of the effect of nonaxisymmetric arrangement of an explosive charge on the fracture behavior of composite cylindrical shells with different reinforcement structures are presented.
