Three-dimensional numerical simulations and experiments were performed to examine the formation and spatial dispersion patterns of integral multiple explosively formed penetrators (MEFP) warhead with seven hemispherical liners. Numerical results had successfully described the formation process and distribution pattern of MEFP. A group of penetrators consisting of a central penetrator surrounded by 6 penetrators is formed during the formation process of MEFP and moves in the direction of aiming position. The maximum divergence angle of the surrounding penetrator group was 7.8°, and the damage area could reach 0.16 m 2 at 1.2 m. The laws of perforation dispersion patterns of MEFP were also obtained through a nonlinear fitting of the perforation information on the target at different standoffs. The terminal effects of the MEFP warhead were performed on three #45 steel targets with a dimension of 160cm 160cm 1.5cm at various standoffs (60, 80, and 120 cm). The simulation results were validated through penetration experiments at different standoffs. It has shown excellent agreement between simulation and experiment results.
Experimental researches were presented on dynamic characteristics of Q235 steel cylindrical shell impacted-explosive laterally by 75g cylindrical TNT dynamite at the center.The dynamic response was obtained under different distances with different setting ways of explosive sources.By means of an explicit nonlinear dynamic finite element computer code LS-DYNA,the nonlinear dynamic response process of cylindrical shell subjected to laterally explosion loading were numerically simulated with ALE coupling method. The numerical simulation results were in good agreement with experimental data. The results provided important reference for the blast-resistant properties analysis and safety assessment of oil-gas pipes safety.
Experimental and numerical simulation researches were presented on dynamic buckling behaviors of cylindrical shell subjected to explosion loading.An account is given of some principal observations made from a series of experiments in which steel cylindrical shells were subjected to central impact by 200g cylindrical TNT dynamite with different distances.By means of an finite element computer code LS-DYNA,the nonlinear dynamic response process of the cylindrical shells subjected to explosion loading were numerically simulated with Lagrangian-Eulerian coupling method. The numerical simulation results were in good agreement with experimental data. The results provide a reference for the design of explosion-resisting structures.
The attitude estimation method of attitude heading reference system (AHRS) using an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) with a filter tuning algorithm based on fuzzy controller is introduced.The AHRS uses inertial sensors and magnetometers to calculate its attitude. It is known that the attitude update using gyros are prone to diverge and hence the attitude error needs to compensate using accelerometers and magnetometers. In this paper, a Kalman filter model with a state variables represented by Modified Rodrigues Parameters (MRP) is presented to improve the computational efficiency and a model changing algorithm is used to make the filter more robust to acceleration and magnetic disturbances.If the AHRS measures any disturbances which are caused by movement of the vehicle, using fuzzy controller changes the filter gain .Simulation results show, EKF tuned by fuzzy controller is correct method that makes robust to disturbances more properly ,Rodrigues parameters can improve the computational efficiency..
Based on LS-DYNA and Lagrange-Euler coupling algorithm, the nonlinear dynamic response of T-steel under external explosive loading of condensed explosives was studied with numerical analysis, and the influence of contact state was mainly discussed. The numerical results showed that the damage effect of steel members under contact explosion was stronger than the non-contact explosion; the axial deformation was the biggest at the center and decreased gradually from the center to surrounding area; under contact explosive, there was a displacement platform at the initial stage of the deformation of the nodes at the farther distance from the center; due to the web, under non-contact explosion, the central tangential deformation was the smallest, and the deformation sharply increased firstly and decreased gradually next from the center to nearby nodes.
