Abstract:

The mechanism of damage on the structure of an explosion pit which belongs to the Institute of Pulsed Power Science, Kumamoto University is investigated. Investigated is the mechanism of damage on the structure of an explosion pit which belongs to the Institute of Pulsed Power Science, Kumamoto University. Here, three-dimensional model with square opening (door) is used to simulate by numerical simulation. The numerical result with the actual egg-type model implies that firstly the cracks occurred at the corners of the door and grew larger. In addition, the numerically simulated results with a spherical form model are also demonstrated to study on optimizing the design of an explosion pit.
