Abstract
The shock stage in the behavior of explosively loaded steel plates and cylindrical shells was studied experimentally. A three-wave structure of the shock front was observed for both plane and cylindrical samples. The split-off strength of the shell and plate materials was determined. For both loading schemes, the split-off was shown to not occur for the samples with a thickness of 1 mm. The decay of the pressure amplitude in the first shock wave was found to be appreciably stronger for the cylindrical samples than for the plane samples.
