Container for Localization of an Explosion of a Compact High–Explosive Charge with an Inert Shell

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Results of an experimental study of fragmentation effects in the explosion and the piercing power of the fragments of inert masses in the form of hemispherical aluminum and soft–steel shells enclosing the spherical charge of a high explosive under their action on flat steel, aluminum, steel–net, and claydite—concrete barriers are given. A design of the lightest spherical explosion–proof container with a load–carrying steel or glass–reinforced plastic shell protected by a splinter–proof layer capable of withstanding an explosion of a high–explosive charge (with a twofold safety factor) with an inert steel shell is proposed.
