Abstract
The response and failure of plates under blast loads are critical concerns in engineering. Plates with preformed holes may exhibit significantly different behaviors compared to those without holes, and detailed research on this topic remains limited. In this study, the deformation of square plates with circular holes subjected to blast loads was investigated through experiment and simulation methods. Square plates with circular holes were designed with three hole positions and two hole diameters. Far-field explosion experiments measured the displacement fields of the plates and the overpressure on the plate frame. Subsequently, LS-Dyna simulation models were established using a two-dimensional model to three-dimensional model mapping, with numerical results aligning with experimental results. Additional numerical calculations with larger charge mass supplemented the experimental cases, analyzing the influence of holes on plate response. It was found that the presence of a hole influenced the displacement field, with notable local effects such as significantly increased displacement near the hole. The presence of a hole can shift the position of maximum equivalent plastic strain from the plate edge to the hole edge. The influence of the size and position of a hole on the deformation and equivalent plastic strain were discussed.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
