...Q. Dong; B. Y. Hu; S. Y. Chen; Y. Gu Explosion containment vessels have been widely used to contain the internal blast effects. In this paper, we present engineering design and experimental results of a real multiple-use spherical explosion containment vessel, which has been employed to withstand...

...Denis D. Rickman; Donald W. Murrell The interaction of an airblast wave with a structure, and the blast wave propagation around and over the structure is of significant importance. In order to protect a structure from the airblast produced by such explosive threats as terrorist bombs, a facility...

...) and six boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVEd) (total loss of containment). The difference between the BLEVE and non-BLEVE failures was due to a difference in the fire conditions. It is believed that these tests show some insight into the BLEVE process. In all tests the fire consisted...

...Craig M. Tarver; Steven K. Chidester High explosive reactions can be caused by three general energy deposition processes: impact ignition by frictional and/or shear heating; bulk thermal heating; and shock compression. The violence of the subsequent reaction varies from benign slow combustion...

...Toru Hamada; Yuichi Nakamura; Shigeru Itoh The detonation pressure from the steady detonation of high explosives is a characteristic. Nevertheless, in materials processing using high explosives, there are cases when the detonation pressure does not match the intended pressure. In this investigation...

...Tong Wa Chao; Joseph E. Shepherd The role of loading rate and fluid properties in the fracture of piping under internal explosions is an important issue for designers and accident analysis. This was examined by fracture experiments on thin-walled and preflawed aluminum 6061-T6 tubes. The tubes were...

... demanded in such applications is to take advantage of the explosion effect from high explosive. Under normal conditions, a given high explosive can only provide some kind of magnitude of dynamic pressure after its explosion. Therefore, it is whether possible to obtain the higher dynamic pressure...

...Toru Hamada; Shigeru Itoh; Kenji Murata; Yukio Kato An explosive configuration was studied so that the underwater shock wave converges at the tip of the explosive, and a three-dimensional spiral configuration was obtained. This spiral configuration need to be analyzed theoretically due...

...A. J. Pierorazio; A. M. Birk An experimental study of boiling liquid expanding vapor explosions (BLEVE) was recently completed at Queen’s University in Canada. The results clearly showed that the severity of the BLEVE was directly related to the energy stored in the vessel, and this energy storage...
