Most engineering structures are composed of basic components such as plates, shells, and beams, and their dynamic characteristics under explosion load determine the impact resistance of the structure. In this paper, a three-dimensional composite steel structure was designed using a beam, plate, and other basic elements to study its mechanical behavior under explosion load. Subsequently, experiments on the composite steel structure under explosion load were carried out to study its mechanical behavior, and the failure mode and deformation data of the composite steel structure were obtained, which provided important experimental data regarding the dynamic response and mechanical behavior of the composite steel structure under explosion load. Then, we independently developed a parallel program with the coupled calculation method to solve the numerical simulation of the dynamic response and failure process of the composite steel structure under explosion load. This program adopts the Euler method as a whole, and Lagrange particles are used for materials that need to be accurately tracked. The numerical calculation results are in good agreement with the experimental data, indicating that the developed parallel program can effectively deal with the large deformation problems of multi-medium materials and the numerical simulation of the complex engineering structure failures subjected to the strong impact load.

A 7.8m/s vertical drop simulate of a full composite fuselage section was conducted with energy-absorbing floor to evaluate the crashworthiness features of the fuselage section and to predict its dynamic response to dummies in future. The 1.52m diameter fuselage section consists of a high strength upper fuselage frame, one stiff structural floor and an energy-absorbing subfloor constructed of Rohacell foam blocks. The experimental data from literature [6] were analyzed and correlated with predictions from an impact simulation developed using the nonlinear explicit transient dynamic computer code MSC.Dytran. The simulated average acceleration did not exceed 13g, by contrast with experimental results, whose relative error is less than 11%. The numerical simulation results agree with experiments well.

Twin elliptic inclined tandem jets are emitted within an oncoming cooler crossflow. The jets contain a non reactive fume whose dispersion is tracked all over the surrounding domain. Such a configuration may be found in chimney stacks, ships’ chimneys, etc. We propose to evaluate in the present paper the impact of the jets’ height on the resulting dispersion process. To reach this goal, a numerical simulation of a double jet model of variable height is carried out by means of the finite volume method together with a non uniform grid system. The model, validated by previous experimental data, allowed the tracking of the emitted fume by studying the evolution of a single particle contained within this fume, the Carbone dioxide (CO2) mass fraction. This is possible thanks to the assumption of handling a non reactive fume, which is adopted only to simplify the calculations. The CO2 mass fraction was mainly tracked between the emitting nozzles, in a try to find out the changes brought by the extension of the emitting jet nozzles on the flow trapped between them.

Disaster caused by exploiting underground coal is due to original mechanical equilibrium of underground rock has been destroyed when underground coal is exploited. And Stress redistribution and stress concentration of wall rock in the goaf happened too. As many complex factors exist such as complex structures of ground, multivariate stope boundary conditions, many stochastic mining factors and so on, it is difficult to evaluate the damage of the geological environment caused the excavation by surrounding underground coal accurately. Besides that, the coexistence of continuous and discontinuous of deformation and failure of wall rock make a strong impact on the ground, and the co-exist of tension, compression and shear failure also pay a great deal contribution to the destroy. Due to the mechanical property and deformation mechanism of goaf are complex , changeable, nonlinear and probabilistic, which changes with in space and time dynamically, it can not be studied analytically by the classical mathematical model and the theory of mechanics computation. Through finite element analysis software ABAQUS, a numerical simulation of the process of underground coal mining have been made. After make a research of the simulation process, it shows the change process of stress environment of wall rock and deformation and failure process of rock mass during the process of coal mining. The numerical simulation of the process can provide theoretical basis and technical support to the protection and reinforcement of laneway the process of coal excavation. Besides that, it also provides a scientific basis and has a great significance to reasonable Excavation and control of mind-out area.

The dynamic response of fluid-filled hemispherical shell in mass impact is studied by experiment using DHR9401. Combining the time history of impact force with experimental observation of the deformation process, it can be seen that the dynamic response can be divided into four stages: the flattening around the impact point, the forming and expanding outward of shell plastic hinge, the plastic edge region flatten by the punch, and elastic recovery. The experimental results show that: Because the shell filled with liquid, the local impact load that the shell suffered is translated into area load and loads on the inner shell uniformly, so that it has a high carrying capacity. Numerical simulation is used to study the time history of energy absorption of different shell structures. The result shows that the crashworthiness of sandwich fluid-filled shell is improved greatly. Under the certain impact energy, deformation of its inner shell is very small, which can provide effective security space.

The paper studies the relationship between axial force and breadth of back blade by numerical simulation and experiment. On the basis of the RNG k-ε turbulence model and technology of compact local grids and regional computing, three dimensional numerical simulations to 100HZ165-250 centrifugal pump with various breadths were carried out. Through comparing and analyzing of the flow field, it can be seen that the axial force reduces with the increase of the back blade breadth. After that, the simulation results were verified by the experimental data got from different test devices, and it shows that the conclusions are reliable.

Theoretical analysis methods are discussed to estimate additional stresses of shallow buried oil and gas pipeline caused by rock fall impaction. The process of impaction is simulated using finite elements software, in the model a 1 m3 square shape falling hard rock impacts soil ground upright of pipe with a vertical velocity, and dynamic response of pipeline is analyzed. The impact force, soil additional stresses, pipe displacement and additional stresses in the impaction process are studied. The effect of pipeline buried depth and rock velocity to the impaction also discussed. Results show that the impaction process is very short and the duration is about 10−3∼10−2s. The maximum impact force has approximately direct ratio with the velocity of rock. The additional vertical stress in soil caused by impaction load has a stress concentration region near the surface of pipe, and its distribution has the similar pattern with that in static load, but has a faster attenuation from the impaction center to sidewall. The most dangerous pipe cross-section appears in the underside of impaction center, and the maximum additional equivalent stress appears in the top of the cross-section, and has an approximately direct ratio with the velocity of rock if other impaction conditions are confirmed. The buried depth of pipeline has major influence to impaction. Large thickness of soil cover has marked effect on improve the protection of pipeline. According the study, shallow buried pipeline has weak defense to rock fall. The additional internal force and stress of pipeline caused by impaction of rock fall can be approximately estimated using theoretical methods or numerical simulation.

Reactive metals (RMs) are a new class of material that can withstand mechanical loads and chemically react to release large amounts of heat under strong impact loading. They are gradually becoming widely used in defense and military fields, including for high-efficiency warheads and reactive armor. For the numerical simulation method considering the combined mechanical-thermo-chemical process for the impact energy release behavior of the RMs, the Al/Ni-based RMs were investigated in this work by combining experiments, theoretical calculations and a numerical simulation. Three kinds of Al/Ni-based RMs (Al-Ni, Al-Ni-CuO and Al-Ni-MoO3), were prepared using the hot-pressing forming process. Firstly, the compressive behavior and the parameters of the Johnson-Cook constitutive model were obtained using a mechanical testing machine and split Hopkinson pressure bars (SHPB). Secondly, the parameters of the equation of state (EOS) under the medium and low pressure conditions of the Al/Ni-based RMs, which were was seen as porous mixtures with high theoretical material density percentages (TMD%), were calculated based on the cold-energy superposition theory and the Wu-Jing method. Third, the impact energy release behaviors of the three RMs were studied with direct ballistic tests. The shock temperatures at different impact velocities were calculated based on the existing shock-induced chemical reaction thermo-chemical model while considering the chemical reaction efficiency, the relationship between the shock temperature and the extent of the chemical reaction was established, and the parameters of the relevant chemical kinetic equations were fitted. Finally, the user’s subroutines defining the material model were implemented to update the stresses in the solids elements in LS-DYNA. The model was based on the Johnson-Cook constitutive model with consideration of the mechanical-thermo-chemical coupling effect, which was verified by the experimental results. The results show that the constitutive model developed in this work can describe the impact energy release behavior of the Al/Ni-based RMs.
