文摘RDX/Al mixtures are widely utilized in energetic materials,yet their hybrid dust generated during production and application poses potential explosion hazards.Moreover,the synergistic explosion mechanisms remain poorly understood,particularly at varying dust concentrations.This study systematically investigates the effects of different aluminum powder mass percentages and dust concentrations(300 g/m^(3),600 g/m^(3),900 g/m^(3))on RDX dust explosion severity,flame propagation behavior,and gaseous products.The results indicate that the maximum explosion pressure peaks at 35%RDX,65%RDX,and 80%RDX at 300 g/m^(3),600 g/m^(3),and 900 g/m^(3),respectively.Concurrently,the time for the flame to propagate to the wall(t1)reaches minimum values of 34.8 ms,25.66 ms,and 23.93 ms.The maximum rate of pressure rise is observed for pure RDX at 900 g/m^(3).Aluminum powder enhances flame propagation velocity and combustion duration,as validated by the flame propagation system.Overall,the concentrations of carbon oxides(CO+CO_(2))decrease significantly with increasing aluminum mass percentage.At 20%RDX,the concentrations decreased by 51.64%,72.31%,and 79.55%compared to pure RDX at 300 g/m^(3),600 g/m^(3),and 900 g/m^(3),respectively.Notably,N_(2)O concentration only at 300 g/m^(3)showed such a trend.It rises first and then falls at 35%RDX at 600 g/m^(3)and 900 g/m^(3).These findings elucidate the synergistic explosion mechanisms and provide critical guidelines for safe production and handling.

文摘Researchers have achieved notable advancements over the years in exploring ship damage and stability resulting from underwater explosions(UNDEX).However,numerous challenges and open questions remain in this field.In this study,the research progress of UNDEX load is first reviewed,which covers the explosion load during the shock wave and bubble pulsation stages.Subsequently,the research progress of ship damage caused by UNDEX is reviewed from two aspects:contact explosion and noncontact explosion.Finally,the research progress of ship navigation stability caused by UNDEX is reviewed from three aspects:natural factors,ship’s internal factors,and explosion factors.Analysis reveals that most existing research has focused on the damage to displacement ships caused by UNDEX.Meanwhile,less attention has been paid to the damage and stability of non-displacement ships caused by UNDEX,which are worthy of discussion.

文摘Unlike conventional spherical charges,a shaped charge generates not only a strong shock wave and a pulsating bubble,but also a high strain rate metal jet and a ballistic wave during the underwater explosion.They show significant characteristic differences and couple each other.This paper designs and conducts experiments with shaped charges to analyze the complicated process.The effects of liner angle and weight of shaped charge on the characteristics of metal jets,waves,and bubbles are discussed.It is found that in underwater explosions,the shaped charge generates the metal jet accompanied by the ballistic wave.Then,the shock wave propagates and superimposes with the ballistic wave,and the generated bubble pulsates periodically.It is revealed that the maximum head velocity of the metal jet versus the liner angle a and length-to-diameter ratio k of the shaped charge follows the laws of 1/(α/180°)^(0.55)andλ^(0.16),respectively.The head shape and velocity of the metal jet determine the curvature and propagation speed of the initial ballistic wave,thus impacting the superposition time and region with the shock wave.Our findings also reveal that the metal jet carries away some explosion products,which hinders the bubble development,causing an inward depression of the bubble wall near the metal jet.Therefore,the maximum bubble radius and pulsation period are 5.2%and 3.9%smaller than the spherical charge with the same weight.In addition,the uneven axial energy distribution of the shaped charge leads to an oblique bubble jet formation.

文摘The internal and external flow fields during vented explosions of methane were characterized through numerical simulation,and the capability of numerical simulation thereof was validated by previous experimental data at three ignition positions.The venting mechanism was revealed by the simulated concentration distribution,temperature profile,and airflow velocity.The results show rear ignition results in the external methane mass distribution taking the form of"mushroom"and columnar flames in the external space,which can be expressed as a third-order polynomial relationship with distance;central ignition forms a relationship of the form y=AxB.Front ignition causes the temperature to show a tendency to repeated oscillations(rising,falling,and rising).Central ignition generates the maximum vented airflow velocity(V_(max)=320 m/s)upon vent opening.The results indicate that it is acceptable to apply numerical simulation of methane explosions in practice.

文摘The in-depth exploration of the multi-dimensional disaster-causing mechanisms associated with battery thermal runaway facilitates the whole-process safety evaluation.However,the still insufficient understanding of the thermal failure process and the limited dimensionality of the existing evaluation indexes subsequently lead to ineffective prevention and control and finally result in a high frequency of severe damage and unforeseen casualties.To address this issue,a general framework for evaluating the whole-process safety by integrating thermal and gas perspectives,involving dozens of multidimensional characteristic parameters obtained by experimental measurements and theoretical calculations,is proposed.Based on this framework,comparing the initial thermal hazards of lithium iron phosphate and nickel-cobalt-manganese lithium-ion batteries and quantifying the derived hazards of singlephase/multi-phase emissions considering battery venting gases and electrolyte solvent vapors,the significant hidden hazards of emissions dominated by reductive components that can lead to higher derived explosion and combustion risks within the external environment are identified,effectively updating the previous paradigm for evaluating cell-level thermal safety.For single-phase emissions with dominant reductive components,higher risks of low lower explosion limit and high laminar burning velocity are demonstrated;after considering typical solvent vapor types(dimethyl carbonate/ethyl methyl carbonate/diethyl carbonate)and specific mixing ratios,highly reductive multi-phase emissions still exhibit higher risks.The proposed framework reveals the underlying effect of the reductive gas-phase emissions in accelerating and aggravating system-level thermal hazards,providing important guidance and inspiration for the whole-process safety control based on gas-phase atmosphere regulation as well as for the overall safety evaluation of emerging battery material chemistries.
文摘With different structural forms of ventilation pipes have various attenuation effects on incident shock waves while meeting ventilation requirements.The attenuation mechanism and the propagation law of shock waves in ventilation pipes of different structures are investigated by experiments and numerical simulations.Furthermore,for the same structure,the effects of peak pressure and positive pressure time on the attenuation rate are discussed.It is found that the attenuation rate increases with the incident shock wave pressure,and the shock wave attenuation rate tends to reach its limiting value k for the same structure and reasonably short positive pressure time.Under the same conditions,the attenuation rate is calculated using the pressure of the shock wave as follows:diffusion chamber pipe,branch pipe and selfconsumption pipe;the attenuation rate per unit volume is calculated as follows:self-consumption pipe,branch pipe and diffusion chamber pipe.In addition,an easy method is provided to calculate the attenuation rate of the shock wave in single and multi-stage ventilation pipes.Corresponding parameters are provided for various structures,and the margin of error between the formulae and experimental results is within 10%,which is significant for engineering applications.

文摘This paper introduces an innovative approach to the deployment of folding wings on cruise missiles,aiming to overcome the issues associated with explosive devices.The proposed solution involves employing NiTi shape memory wires for a nonexplosive self-deploying wing mechanism.The fundamental concept of the design revolves around the utilization of NiTi wires,which contract upon electric heating.This contraction action severs the shear pin,consequently releasing the folded wings.The operational performance of the NiTi wire is thoroughly examined through a series of electro-thermo-mechanical tests,offering valuable insights for selecting the appropriate wire material.Moreover,the mechanical dynamics involved in the self-deploying process are elucidated through finite element simulations.The simulations highlight that the thermally-induced phase transformation within the NiTi wires generates substantial actuation forces,exceeding 700 N,and strokes of over 6 mm.These forces are deemed sufficient for breaking the aluminum shear pin and effecting wing deployment.The proposed mechanism’s practical viability is substantiated through prototype tests,which conclusively establish the superiority of the nonexplosive self-deploying wing mechanism when compared to conventional methods.The experimental outcomes underscore the mechanism’s capability to markedly reduce overload stress while remaining compliant with the designated requirements and constraints.

文摘The gas explosion in residential building has always been a highly concerned problem.Explosions in homogeneous mixtures have been extensively studied.However,mixtures are often inhomogeneous in the practical scenarios due to the differences in the densities of methane and air.In order to investigate the effects of gas explosions in inhomogeneous mixtures,experimental studies involving gas leakage and explosion are conducted in a full-scale residential building to reproduce the process of gas explosion.By fitting the dimensionless buoyancy as a function of dimensionless height and dimensionless time,a distribution model of gas in large-scale spaces is established,and the mechanism of inhomogeneous distribution of methane is also be revealed.Furthermore,the stratified reconstruction method(SRM)is introduced for efficiently setting up inhomogeneous concentration fields in FLACS.The simulation results highlight that for the internal overpressure,the distribution of methane has no effect on the first overpressure peak(ΔP1),while it significantly influences the subsequent overpressure peak(ΔP2),and the maximum difference between the overpressure of homogeneous and inhomogeneous distribution is174.3%.Moreover,the initial concentration distribution also has a certain impact on the external overpressure.

文摘With the increasing demand for secure infrastructure such as hydrogen refueling stations,chemical plants,and energy storage systems,the need for protective structures capable of withstanding close-in detonations has become more critical.Existing design guidelines for protective walls(e.g.,UFC 3-340-02)primarily address mid-and far-field explosions,providing limited insights into near-field effects.Considering the effect of slight slopes(<40°)on reducing maximum reflected overpressure is deemed negligible.This study investigated the effectiveness of a reinforced concrete(RC)modular protection system(MPS)incorpo rating a diagonally tapered wall in attenuating re flected overpressures from closein detonations.Full-scale field experiments using a 51.3 kg TNT charge,representing the explosion energy of a typical hydrogen vessel rupture,demonstrated that a wall with a 7°slope significantly outperformed a vertical wall of equivalent concrete volume in terms of blast resistance.Observed structural responses included cracking,horizontal shear failure,and overturning.Complementary simulations using a validated computational fluid dynamics(CFD)model showed that the tapered wall reduced peak overpressure by 30%-40%compared to an equivalent vertical wall.This result highlights the potential of minor geometric modifications to enhance blast resilience.The tapered design effectively redirects incident blast waves,reducing localized damage while also conserving material,thus preserving modular benefits such as ease of transport and reusability.These findings suggest that diagonally tapered RC-based MPSs can offer a practical and resilient solution for industrial and military applications subject to near-field or sequential blast threats.
文摘The concept of TNT(Trinitrotoluene,C_7H_5N_3O_6)equivalence is often invoked to evaluate the performance and predict the explosion parameters of different types of explosives.However,due to its low prediction accuracy and limited application range,the use of TNT equivalence for predicting explosion parameters in a confined space is rare.Compared with explosions in free fields,the process of explosive energy release in a confined space is closely related to various factors such as oxygen balance,combustible components content,and surrounding oxygen content.Studies have shown that in a confined space,negative oxygen balance explosives react with surrounding oxygen during afterburning,resulting in additional energy release and enhanced blast effects.The mechanism of energy release during afterburning is highly complex,making it challenging to determine the TNT equivalence for blast effects in a confined space.Therefore,this remains an active area of research.In this study,internal blast experiments were conducted using TNT and three other explosives under both air and N_2(Nitrogen)conditions to obtain explosion parameters including blast wave overpressure,quasi-static pressure,and temperature.The influences of oxygen balance and external oxygen content on energy release are analyzed.The author proposes principles for determining TNT equivalence for internal explosions while verifying the accuracy of obtained blast parameters through calculations based on TNT equivalence.These findings can serve as references for predicting blast performance.

文摘To investigate the explosion load characteristics and structural response law in a water mist environment in a cabin,explosion experiments are carried out.The weakening rates of the initial peak overpressure,quasistatic pressure and structural residual deflection increase with increasing working pressure of the water mist nozzle.Specifically,the weakening rate of the initial peak overpressure ranges from 7.8%to 31.0%,the quasistatic pressure weakening rate ranges from 29.2%to 41.0%,and the weakening rate of the center of the plate residual deflection ranges from 10.8%to 34.4%under the various working pressures of the nozzles.To further explore the effect of water mist explosion suppression,a method for three-dimensional numerical simulations of water mist weakening the explosion shock wave is established to explore the explosion load characteristics of the compartment and the bulkhead response law.On the basis of the dimension analysis method,empirical formulas are derived to predict the residual deflection thickness in the center of the bulkheads.These findings provide the fundamental basis for the appli-cation of water mist in anti-explosive protection.
文摘Bubbles play crucial roles in various fields,including naval and ocean engineering,chemical engineering,and biochemical engineering.Numerous theoretical analyses,numerical simulations,and experimental studies have been conducted to reveal the mysteries of bubble motion and its mechanisms.These efforts have significantly advanced research in bubble dynamics,where theoretical study is an efficient method for bubble motion prediction.Since Lord Rayleigh introduced the theoretical model of single-bubble motion in incompressible fluid in 1917,theoretical studies have been pivotal in understanding bubble dynamics.This study provides a comprehensive review of the development and applicability of theoretical studies in bubble dynamics using typical theoretical bubble models across different periods as a focal point and an overview of bubble theory applications in underwater explosion,marine cavitation,and seismic exploration.This study aims to serve as a reference and catalyst for further advancements in theoretical analysis and practical applications of bubble theory across marine fields.

文摘Shock wave caused by a sudden release of high-energy,such as explosion and blast,usually affects a significant range of areas.The utilization of a uniform fine mesh to capture sharp shock wave and to obtain precise results is inefficient in terms of computational resource.This is particularly evident when large-scale fluid field simulations are conducted with significant differences in computational domain size.In this work,a variable-domain-size adaptive mesh enlargement(vAME)method is developed based on the proposed adaptive mesh enlargement(AME)method for modeling multi-explosives explosion problems.The vAME method reduces the division of numerous empty areas or unnecessary computational domains by adaptively suspending enlargement operation in one or two directions,rather than in all directions as in AME method.A series of numerical tests via AME and vAME with varying nonintegral enlargement ratios and different mesh numbers are simulated to verify the efficiency and order of accuracy.An estimate of speedup ratio is analyzed for further efficiency comparison.Several large-scale near-ground explosion experiments with single/multiple explosives are performed to analyze the shock wave superposition formed by the incident wave,reflected wave,and Mach wave.Additionally,the vAME method is employed to validate the accuracy,as well as to investigate the performance of the fluid field and shock wave propagation,considering explosive quantities ranging from 1 to 5 while maintaining a constant total mass.The results show a satisfactory correlation between the overpressure versus time curves for experiments and numerical simulations.The vAME method yields a competitive efficiency,increasing the computational speed to 3.0 and approximately 120,000 times in comparison to AME and the fully fine mesh method,respectively.It indicates that the vAME method reduces the computational cost with minimal impact on the results for such large-scale high-energy release problems with significant differences in computational domain size.

文摘The compression and energy absorption properties of foam geopolymers increase stress wave attenuation under explosion impacts,reducing the vibration effect on the structure.Explosion tests were conducted using several composite structure models,including a concrete lining structure(CLS)without foam geopolymer and six foam geopolymer composite structures(FGCS)with different backfill parameters,to study the dynamic response and wave dissipation mechanisms of FGCS under explosive loading.Pressure,strain,and vibration responses at different locations were synchronously tested.The damage modes and dynamic responses of different models were compared,and how wave elimination and energy absorption efficiencies were affected by foam geopolymer backfill parameters was analyzed.The results showed that the foam geopolymer absorbed and dissipated the impact energy through continuous compressive deformation under high strain rates and dynamic loading,reducing the strain in the liner structure by 52%and increasing the pressure attenuation rate by 28%.Additionally,the foam geopolymer backfill reduced structural vibration and liner deformation,with the FGCS structure showing 35%less displacement and 70%less acceleration compared to the CLS.The FGCS model with thicker,less dense foam geopolymer backfill,having more pores and higher porosity,demonstrated better compression and energy absorption under dynamic impact,increasing stress wave attenuation efficiency.By analyzing the stress wave propagation and the compression characteristics of the porous medium,it was concluded that the stress transfer ratio of FGCS-ρ-579 was 77%lower than that of CLS,and the transmitted wave energy was 90%lower.The results of this study provide a scientific basis for optimizing underground composite structure interlayer parameters.

文摘Urban growth has promoted the use of underground spaces,where explosion accidents can be catastrophic.In this study,we investigated the effect of placing flexible construction in front of rigid obstacles on methane explosion protection by using an experimental platform and adjusting the blockage rate and spacing of the obstacles.It aims to reduce the risk of gas explosions in urban underground spaces.The results of the study show that the flame propagation peak speed and peak overpressure are reduced with the decrease in the blocking rate of the flexible obstacle when the blocking rate of the flexible obstacle is less than or equal to the blocking rate of the rigid obstacle,with the decrease in the spacing,the better the protection effect of the methane explosion.When the blockage rate of the flexible obstacle is greater than the blockage rate of the rigid obstacle and spacing is less than the height of the flexible obstacle,rigid and flexible obstacles are connected as a whole,increasing the strength of the explosion.This study can provide a theoretical basis and scientific guidance for optimizing rigid and flexible object hybrid layouts and methane explosion protection technology in urban underground spaces.
