Abstract: The method of using an image blast source to establish the reflection effect from the walls of structure is combined with the nonlinear superposition principle to deal with the multi-wave coupling effect. An analytical model of shockwave propagation and superposition in closed cuboid structure is established. The proposed model can be used for the rapid calculation of internal explosion loading in engineering projects. The results show that the maximum relative errors of theoretical and experimental first peak overpressures, pulse widths and specific impulses on the wall are less than -10.5%, -19.2% and 13.2%, respectively. The theoretical characteristic parameters of internal explosion are in good agreement with the experimental ones, which verifies the validity of this analytical model.
