Abstract

Numerical simulation results for the axially asymmetric compression, expansion, and fracture of elastoplastic shells affected by explosive detonation are presented. The effects of process-induced differences in wall thicknesses and of surrounding media on the deformation and fracture of shells are demonstrated.
