Engineering Design of Underwater Explosive Containment Vessels

Abstract:

Underwater explosion vessel is the main equipment to experimentally study the law of underwater explosion by small quantity of explosive. It is the main equipment of explosive metalworking. In order to the safe using of underwater explosion container and the efficiency, we must accurately determine the strength of the container. Based on the actual engineering design, the brief summary about engineering design method of 10gTNT equivalent deep water explosion vessel has carried on.
