Abstract
This paper gives an overview of experimental data on the behavior of steel cylindrical shells filled with water or air and repeatedly loaded by an explosion from inside, up to failure. Semi-empirical formulas are obtained which provide fairly easy and reliable estimates of the main parameters of impulsive deformation of the shells within experimental scatter.
