Statistical Model of the Explosive Fragmentation of a Ring

详细

A model of the explosive fragmentation of a thin ring is developed which takes into account the statistical dispersion of the relative fracture deformation along the length of the ring. A formula is proposed for calculating the velocity of the boundary of the region near a plastic rupture in which the plastic flow of the ring material ceases. Methods for the numerical and analytical calculation of the average number of fragments of the ring are developed. The calculation results are compared with available experimental data.
