Abstract

The explosive containment vessels filled water can be used to experimentally investigate some problems about underwater explosion, such as the characteristics of shock wave propagation and bubble pulsation, as well as the dynamic response of submarines subjected to underwater explosion. And the water-filling explosion containment vessels, loaded corresponding hydraulic pressure, can be used to experimentally investigate deep-water explosion. The dynamic response of the simulated deep water explosion pressure vessels must be paid more attention for their serious consequences in accidental explosions. With an eye to this, this study included an explosion test which used a cylindrical explosive chamber comprising a cylindrical shell and elliptical ends filled water under blast loading. The results in this study about the water-filling explosion containment vessels improved the understanding of law of the dynamic response, determined the carrying capacity and failure modes, and presented, on this basis, the theory of optimization design of the water-filling explosion containment vessels.
