The Dimensional Analysis and Similar Theory of Model Tests for Explosion Resisting Capacity of Tunnels

Article Preview

Abstract:

The safety of underground tunnels under explosions is of many meaningful engineering values, especially as the weapons are provided with high-precision and strong penetrability. This passage analyses the explosion resisting capacities of tunnels at different scales. The theoretical similar relationship is deduced by using the dimensional analysis and the physical dimensions are the controlling factors if the materials and other factors keep the same. And an example including two models is calculated and the results verify the validity of the similar theory.
