Abstract:

The coupling effect of shock wave and fragments on a clamped square plate is studied based on their coupling characteristics. The dispersion mechanism of prefabricated fragments propelled by explosives is investigated using a validated finite element model, and the findings are supported by experimental evidence. The deformation and failure modes of a target plate under various loads are discussed, and the damage mechanism resulting from the coupling effect of shock wave and fragment loading is elucidated. The results demonstrate that a coupling damage effect occurs in the vicinity of explosion field when the arrival interval between the two loads is less than the response time of target plate, regardless of the order in which the loads reach the plate. The primary deformation failure modes of target plate are flexural deformation and shear perforation caused by the shock wave and fragments, respectively. Moreover, theperforation of fragments under the action of shock wave is prone to cracking and hole penetration. The study also reveals that the mechanism of shock wave and fragment interaction differs from that of individual load. The strengthof target plate is reduced and its deflection is increased under the action of shock wave, leading to penetration perforation. Furthermore, the deflection induced by the shock wave delays the penetration time, extends the perforation period, and transfers more energy to the target plate. The residual deflection of target plateunder the coupling effectjs increased by 19.2% compared to the simple superposition of the shock wave and fragment loads.
