In order to reduce the titanium layer thickness, the explosive welding of TA1 titanium foil to Q235 steel plate was carried out. The interfacial bonding performance was analyzed by micromorphology analysis and mechanical property test, and the formation process of interfacial wave and molten block in the vortex was simulated by smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) method.

Therefore, it is necessary to understand the dust explosion characteristics of energetic materials and the mechanism of dust explosion. According to the literature review, among various influencing factors, the physical and chemical properties of dust are the decisive factors affecting the explosion characteristics of dust. In addition to experimental studies, numerical simulation is another important tool. However, it is subjected to certain limitations. Moreover, it is essential but challenging to fully understand the underlying mechanism. In addition, given the safety hazards posed by dust explosion, explosion suppression has attracted extensive attention for research. Depending on the medium used, there are different forms of suppression, including powder explosion suppression, water spray explosion suppression, inert gas explosion suppression, porous material explosion suppression, and vacuum chamber explosion suppression. As for the selection of explosion suppression agent, consideration must be given to the characteristics of the material. Furthermore, the above research has laid a foundation for discussing the future progress in studying dust explosion of energetic materials, with nano dust and the constraints of existing technology as the focal point.展开更多

文摘RBOE is a new type of DNAN-based high-energy melt-cast mixed explosive,whose safety under thermal stimulation is significantly affected by heating conditions and venting area of the warhead.Based on the thermal decomposition reaction characteristics and combustion characteristics of each component of RBOE explosive,the cook-off calculation models of RBOE warhead before and after ignition were established.In addition,closed and vented warheads were designed,as well as fast and slow cook-off test devices.The cook-off characteristics and thermal safety venting area of RBOE warhead were extensively studied.The results showed that the closed RBOE warhead underwent deflagration reaction under both slow and fast cook-off conditions.The calculation result of the shell wall temperature before slow cookoff ignition response of the warhead was 454.06 K,with an error of+1.75%compared to the test result of462.15 K,and the temperature rise rate calculated was in good agreement with the test.The calculated ignition time of RBOE warhead under fast cook-off was 161 s,with an error of+8.8%compared to the test result of 148 s,which verified the accuracy of cook-off model of RBOE warhead before ignition.According to the cook-off calculation model of the warhead after ignition and cook-off test of the vented warhead,it was determined that the thermal safety venting area was 1124.61 mm^(2)for fast cook-off and 530.66 mm~2 for slow cook-off,effectively preventing the reaction of warhead above combustion.Therefore,this study provides a scientific basis for the thermal safety design and evaluation of insensitive warheads.

文摘While the moisture content of soil affects significantly the blast impulse of shallow buried explosives,the role of surface-covering water(SCW)on soil in such blast impulse remains elusive.A combined experimental and numerical study has been carried out to characterize the effect of SCW on transferred impulse and loading magnitude of shallow buried explosives.Firstly,blast tests of shallow buried explosives were conducted,with and without the SCW,to quantitatively assess the blast loading impulse.Subsequently,finite element(FE)simulations were performed and validated against experimental measurement,with good agreement achieved.The validated FE model was then employed to predict the dynamic response of a fully-clamped metallic circular target,subjected to the explosive impact of shallow buried explosives with SCW,and explore the corresponding physical mechanisms.It was demonstrated that shallow buried explosives in saturated soil generate a greater impulse transferred towards the target relative to those in dry soil.The deformation displacement of the target plate is doubled.Increasing the height of SCW results in enhanced center peak deflection of the loaded target,accompanied by subsequent fall,due to the variation of deformation pattern of the loaded target from concentrated load to uniform load.Meanwhile,the presence of SCW increases the blast impulse transferred towards the target by three times.In addition,there exists a threshold value of the burial depth that maximizes the impact impulse.This threshold exhibits a strong sensitivity to SCW height,decreasing with increasing SCW height.An empirical formula for predicting threshold has been provided.Similar conclusions can be drawn for different explosive masses.The results provide technical guidance on blast loading intensity and its spatial distribution considering shallow buried explosives in coast-land battlefields,which can ultimately contribute to better protective designs.

文摘Due to the presence of nitro groups, the dust generated during the production and utilization of energetic materials may potentially lead to dust explosion even under low-oxygen or anaerobic conditions.Considering the high energy density of energetic materials, dust explosion can cause serious production safety accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the dust explosion characteristics of energetic materials and the mechanism of dust explosion. According to the literature review, among various influencing factors, the physical and chemical properties of dust are the decisive factors affecting the explosion characteristics of dust. In addition to experimental studies, numerical simulation is another important tool. However, it is subjected to certain limitations. Moreover, it is essential but challenging to fully understand the underlying mechanism. In addition, given the safety hazards posed by dust explosion, explosion suppression has attracted extensive attention for research. Depending on the medium used, there are different forms of suppression, including powder explosion suppression, water spray explosion suppression, inert gas explosion suppression, porous material explosion suppression, and vacuum chamber explosion suppression. As for the selection of explosion suppression agent, consideration must be given to the characteristics of the material. Furthermore, the above research has laid a foundation for discussing the future progress in studying dust explosion of energetic materials, with nano dust and the constraints of existing technology as the focal point.

文摘The gas explosion in residential building has always been a highly concerned problem.Explosions in homogeneous mixtures have been extensively studied.However,mixtures are often inhomogeneous in the practical scenarios due to the differences in the densities of methane and air.In order to investigate the effects of gas explosions in inhomogeneous mixtures,experimental studies involving gas leakage and explosion are conducted in a full-scale residential building to reproduce the process of gas explosion.By fitting the dimensionless buoyancy as a function of dimensionless height and dimensionless time,a distribution model of gas in large-scale spaces is established,and the mechanism of inhomogeneous distribution of methane is also be revealed.Furthermore,the stratified reconstruction method(SRM)is introduced for efficiently setting up inhomogeneous concentration fields in FLACS.The simulation results highlight that for the internal overpressure,the distribution of methane has no effect on the first overpressure peak(ΔP1),while it significantly influences the subsequent overpressure peak(ΔP2),and the maximum difference between the overpressure of homogeneous and inhomogeneous distribution is174.3%.Moreover,the initial concentration distribution also has a certain impact on the external overpressure.

文摘RDX/Al mixtures are widely utilized in energetic materials,yet their hybrid dust generated during production and application poses potential explosion hazards.Moreover,the synergistic explosion mechanisms remain poorly understood,particularly at varying dust concentrations.This study systematically investigates the effects of different aluminum powder mass percentages and dust concentrations(300 g/m^(3),600 g/m^(3),900 g/m^(3))on RDX dust explosion severity,flame propagation behavior,and gaseous products.The results indicate that the maximum explosion pressure peaks at 35%RDX,65%RDX,and 80%RDX at 300 g/m^(3),600 g/m^(3),and 900 g/m^(3),respectively.Concurrently,the time for the flame to propagate to the wall(t1)reaches minimum values of 34.8 ms,25.66 ms,and 23.93 ms.The maximum rate of pressure rise is observed for pure RDX at 900 g/m^(3).Aluminum powder enhances flame propagation velocity and combustion duration,as validated by the flame propagation system.Overall,the concentrations of carbon oxides(CO+CO_(2))decrease significantly with increasing aluminum mass percentage.At 20%RDX,the concentrations decreased by 51.64%,72.31%,and 79.55%compared to pure RDX at 300 g/m^(3),600 g/m^(3),and 900 g/m^(3),respectively.Notably,N_(2)O concentration only at 300 g/m^(3)showed such a trend.It rises first and then falls at 35%RDX at 600 g/m^(3)and 900 g/m^(3).These findings elucidate the synergistic explosion mechanisms and provide critical guidelines for safe production and handling.

文摘Urban growth has promoted the use of underground spaces,where explosion accidents can be catastrophic.In this study,we investigated the effect of placing flexible construction in front of rigid obstacles on methane explosion protection by using an experimental platform and adjusting the blockage rate and spacing of the obstacles.It aims to reduce the risk of gas explosions in urban underground spaces.The results of the study show that the flame propagation peak speed and peak overpressure are reduced with the decrease in the blocking rate of the flexible obstacle when the blocking rate of the flexible obstacle is less than or equal to the blocking rate of the rigid obstacle,with the decrease in the spacing,the better the protection effect of the methane explosion.When the blockage rate of the flexible obstacle is greater than the blockage rate of the rigid obstacle and spacing is less than the height of the flexible obstacle,rigid and flexible obstacles are connected as a whole,increasing the strength of the explosion.This study can provide a theoretical basis and scientific guidance for optimizing rigid and flexible object hybrid layouts and methane explosion protection technology in urban underground spaces.

文摘This study represents an important step forward in the domain of additive manufacturing of energetic materials.It presents the successful formulation and fabrication by 3D printing of gun propellants using Fused Deposition Modeling(FDM)technology,highlighting the immense potential of this innovative approach.The use of FDM additive manufacturing technology to print gun propellants is a significant advancement due to its novel application in this field,which has not been previously reported.Through this study,the potential of FDM 3D-printing in the production of high-performance energetic composites is demonstrated,and also a new standard for manufacturability in this field can be established.The thermoplastic composites developed in this study are characterized by a notably high energetic solids content,comprising 70%hexogen(RDX)and 10%nitrocellulose(NC),which surpasses the conventional limit of 60%energetic solids typically achieved in stereolithography and light-curing 3D printing methods.The primary objective of the study was to optimize the formulation,enhance performance,and establish an equilibrium between printability and propellant efficacy.Among the three energetic for-mulations developed for 3D printing feedstock,only two were suitable for printing via the FDM tech-nique.Notably,the formulation consisting of 70%RDX,10%NC,and 20%polycaprolactone(PCL)emerged as the most advantageous option for gun propellants,owing to its exceptional processability,ease of printability,and high energetic performance.

文摘The internal and external flow fields during vented explosions of methane were characterized through numerical simulation,and the capability of numerical simulation thereof was validated by previous experimental data at three ignition positions.The venting mechanism was revealed by the simulated concentration distribution,temperature profile,and airflow velocity.The results show rear ignition results in the external methane mass distribution taking the form of"mushroom"and columnar flames in the external space,which can be expressed as a third-order polynomial relationship with distance;central ignition forms a relationship of the form y=AxB.Front ignition causes the temperature to show a tendency to repeated oscillations(rising,falling,and rising).Central ignition generates the maximum vented airflow velocity(V_(max)=320 m/s)upon vent opening.The results indicate that it is acceptable to apply numerical simulation of methane explosions in practice.

文摘This study investigates the paradoxical detonation behavior of TKX-50,a nitrogen-rich energetic material,exhibiting higher detonation velocities but lower metal acceleration ability compared to HMX.Through experimental measurements and theoretical calculations,we propose a novel three-factor competition mechanism to explain this phenomenon.TKX-50-based PBX formulations achieved detonation velocities up to 9100 m/s,surpassing HMX-based counterparts.However,cylinder expansion tests revealed a 15%reduction in metal acceleration ability.Thermochemical measurements showed lower detonation heat for TKX-50(4900 J/g)versus HMX(5645 J/g).Our mechanism involves:(1)compositional effects prevailing at high pressures;(2)Energy release becoming essential as pressure drops;(3)Pressure-dependent product composition evolution functioning at low pressure.VLW code calculations unveiled a"crossover"in Hugoniot curves,lending support to this mechanism.This study furnishes a new framework for comprehending the performance of nitrogen-rich energetic materials,with significant implications for the design and optimization of future high-energy density materials.
文摘The desensitization of nitramine explosives while maintaining energetic performance is challenging.A highly efficient desensitizer is the key to solving the antinomy.This study focuses on using porous organic cages(POCs),specifically CC3 and RCC3,to desensitize RDX.By coating 0.1 wt%–5 wt%of POCs on RDX particles,a series of composite energetic materials were prepared.Characterization results show that POCs change the surface morphology of RDX,and there are interfacial interactions between them.The RDX@POCs composites exhibit enhanced stabilities in terms of heat,impact,friction,and electrostatic spark.For the RDX@RCC3-5%composite,the impact sensitivity(E_(IS)),friction sensitivity(E_(FS)),and electrostatic sensitivity(EES)were significantly reduced by 66.7%,68.8%,and 56.5%,respectively,while the detonation velocity decreased by merely 3.1%.These findings indicate that POCs,especially RCC3,are promising desensitizers for nitramine explosives,and their desensitization mechanisms likely involve barrier and buffering effects.The distinct desensitization behavior of RDX@RCC3 highlights the effectiveness of POCs in reducing the sensitivity of RDX without significantly compromising its energetic properties.
文摘With different structural forms of ventilation pipes have various attenuation effects on incident shock waves while meeting ventilation requirements.The attenuation mechanism and the propagation law of shock waves in ventilation pipes of different structures are investigated by experiments and numerical simulations.Furthermore,for the same structure,the effects of peak pressure and positive pressure time on the attenuation rate are discussed.It is found that the attenuation rate increases with the incident shock wave pressure,and the shock wave attenuation rate tends to reach its limiting value k for the same structure and reasonably short positive pressure time.Under the same conditions,the attenuation rate is calculated using the pressure of the shock wave as follows:diffusion chamber pipe,branch pipe and selfconsumption pipe;the attenuation rate per unit volume is calculated as follows:self-consumption pipe,branch pipe and diffusion chamber pipe.In addition,an easy method is provided to calculate the attenuation rate of the shock wave in single and multi-stage ventilation pipes.Corresponding parameters are provided for various structures,and the margin of error between the formulae and experimental results is within 10%,which is significant for engineering applications.

文摘Detonation performance is crucial for evaluating the power of high explosives(HEs),and the equation of state(EOS)that accurately describes the high-temperature,high-pressure,and high-temperature,medium-pressure states of detonation products is key to assessing the damage efficiency of these energetic materials.This article examines the limitations of the VLW EOS in representing the thermodynamic states of explosive detonation gas products under high-temperature and medium-to high-pressure conditions.A new gas EOS for detonation products,called VHL(Virial-Han-Long),is proposed.The accuracy of VHL in describing gas states under high-temperature and medium-to high-pressure conditions is verified,and its performance in evaluating explosive detonation and working capabilities is explored.The results demonstrate that VHL exhibits high precision in calculating detonation performance.Subsequently,the detonation performance of three new HEs(ICM-101,ONC,and TNAZ)was calculated and compared to traditional HEs(TATB,CL-20,and HMX).The results indicate that ONC has superior detonation performance compared to the other explosives,while ICM-101 shows a detonation velocity similar to CL-20 but with slightly lower detonation pressure.The detonation characteristics of TNAZ are comparable to those of the standard HE HMX.From the perspective of products,considering the comprehensive work performance(mechanical work and detonation heat),both ONC and ICM-101demonstrate relatively superior performance.
文摘The concept of TNT(Trinitrotoluene,C_7H_5N_3O_6)equivalence is often invoked to evaluate the performance and predict the explosion parameters of different types of explosives.However,due to its low prediction accuracy and limited application range,the use of TNT equivalence for predicting explosion parameters in a confined space is rare.Compared with explosions in free fields,the process of explosive energy release in a confined space is closely related to various factors such as oxygen balance,combustible components content,and surrounding oxygen content.Studies have shown that in a confined space,negative oxygen balance explosives react with surrounding oxygen during afterburning,resulting in additional energy release and enhanced blast effects.The mechanism of energy release during afterburning is highly complex,making it challenging to determine the TNT equivalence for blast effects in a confined space.Therefore,this remains an active area of research.In this study,internal blast experiments were conducted using TNT and three other explosives under both air and N_2(Nitrogen)conditions to obtain explosion parameters including blast wave overpressure,quasi-static pressure,and temperature.The influences of oxygen balance and external oxygen content on energy release are analyzed.The author proposes principles for determining TNT equivalence for internal explosions while verifying the accuracy of obtained blast parameters through calculations based on TNT equivalence.These findings can serve as references for predicting blast performance.

文摘Gas explosion in confined space often leads to significant pressure oscillation.It is widely recognized that structural damage can be severe when the oscillation frequency of the load resonates with the natural vibration frequency of the structure.To reveal the oscillation mechanism of gas explosion load,the experiment of gas explosion was conducted in a large-scale confined tube with the length of 30 m,and the explosion process was numerically analyzed using FLACS.The results show that the essential cause of oscillation effect is the reflection of the pressure wave.In addition,due to the difference in the propagation path of the pressure wave,the load oscillation frequency at the middle position of the tunnel is twice that at the end position.The average sound velocity can be used to calculate the oscillation frequency of overpressure accurately,and the error is less than 15%.The instability of the flame surface and the increase of flame turbulence caused by the interaction between the pressure wave and the flame surface are the main contributors to the increase in overpressure and amplitude.The overpressure peaks calculated by the existing flame instability model and turbulence disturbance model are 31.7%and 34.7%lower than the numerical results,respectively.The turbulence factor model established in this work can describe the turbulence enhancement effect caused by flame instability and oscillatory load,and the difference between the theoretical and numerical results is only 4.6%.In the theoretical derivation of the overpressure model,an improved model of dynamic turbulence factor is established,which can describe the enhancement effect of turbulence factor caused by flame instability and self-turbulence.Based on the one-dimensional propagation theory of pressure wave,the oscillatory effect of the load is derived to calculate the frequency and amplitude of pressure oscillation.The average error of amplitude and frequency is less than 20%.

文摘The compression and energy absorption properties of foam geopolymers increase stress wave attenuation under explosion impacts,reducing the vibration effect on the structure.Explosion tests were conducted using several composite structure models,including a concrete lining structure(CLS)without foam geopolymer and six foam geopolymer composite structures(FGCS)with different backfill parameters,to study the dynamic response and wave dissipation mechanisms of FGCS under explosive loading.Pressure,strain,and vibration responses at different locations were synchronously tested.The damage modes and dynamic responses of different models were compared,and how wave elimination and energy absorption efficiencies were affected by foam geopolymer backfill parameters was analyzed.The results showed that the foam geopolymer absorbed and dissipated the impact energy through continuous compressive deformation under high strain rates and dynamic loading,reducing the strain in the liner structure by 52%and increasing the pressure attenuation rate by 28%.Additionally,the foam geopolymer backfill reduced structural vibration and liner deformation,with the FGCS structure showing 35%less displacement and 70%less acceleration compared to the CLS.The FGCS model with thicker,less dense foam geopolymer backfill,having more pores and higher porosity,demonstrated better compression and energy absorption under dynamic impact,increasing stress wave attenuation efficiency.By analyzing the stress wave propagation and the compression characteristics of the porous medium,it was concluded that the stress transfer ratio of FGCS-ρ-579 was 77%lower than that of CLS,and the transmitted wave energy was 90%lower.The results of this study provide a scientific basis for optimizing underground composite structure interlayer parameters.

文摘To investigate the explosion load characteristics and structural response law in a water mist environment in a cabin,explosion experiments are carried out.The weakening rates of the initial peak overpressure,quasistatic pressure and structural residual deflection increase with increasing working pressure of the water mist nozzle.Specifically,the weakening rate of the initial peak overpressure ranges from 7.8%to 31.0%,the quasistatic pressure weakening rate ranges from 29.2%to 41.0%,and the weakening rate of the center of the plate residual deflection ranges from 10.8%to 34.4%under the various working pressures of the nozzles.To further explore the effect of water mist explosion suppression,a method for three-dimensional numerical simulations of water mist weakening the explosion shock wave is established to explore the explosion load characteristics of the compartment and the bulkhead response law.On the basis of the dimension analysis method,empirical formulas are derived to predict the residual deflection thickness in the center of the bulkheads.These findings provide the fundamental basis for the appli-cation of water mist in anti-explosive protection.

文摘Shock wave caused by a sudden release of high-energy,such as explosion and blast,usually affects a significant range of areas.The utilization of a uniform fine mesh to capture sharp shock wave and to obtain precise results is inefficient in terms of computational resource.This is particularly evident when large-scale fluid field simulations are conducted with significant differences in computational domain size.In this work,a variable-domain-size adaptive mesh enlargement(vAME)method is developed based on the proposed adaptive mesh enlargement(AME)method for modeling multi-explosives explosion problems.The vAME method reduces the division of numerous empty areas or unnecessary computational domains by adaptively suspending enlargement operation in one or two directions,rather than in all directions as in AME method.A series of numerical tests via AME and vAME with varying nonintegral enlargement ratios and different mesh numbers are simulated to verify the efficiency and order of accuracy.An estimate of speedup ratio is analyzed for further efficiency comparison.Several large-scale near-ground explosion experiments with single/multiple explosives are performed to analyze the shock wave superposition formed by the incident wave,reflected wave,and Mach wave.Additionally,the vAME method is employed to validate the accuracy,as well as to investigate the performance of the fluid field and shock wave propagation,considering explosive quantities ranging from 1 to 5 while maintaining a constant total mass.The results show a satisfactory correlation between the overpressure versus time curves for experiments and numerical simulations.The vAME method yields a competitive efficiency,increasing the computational speed to 3.0 and approximately 120,000 times in comparison to AME and the fully fine mesh method,respectively.It indicates that the vAME method reduces the computational cost with minimal impact on the results for such large-scale high-energy release problems with significant differences in computational domain size.
