DETERMINATION OF CAMOUFLET EXPLOSION PARAMETERS

Abstract

The centrally symmetric problem of determining the velocity field in a continuous elastoplastic medium during a camouflet explosion has been solved assuming that the motion is non-oscillatory nature and that the medium in the plastic and elastic regions is incompressible. The solution was found using the camouflet equation — the relation for determining the pressure on the contact surface of the expanding explosion cavity. The solution can be used to estimate the dimensions of the expansion and plastic deformation regions and the impact of explosive disturbances on objects.
