Abstract
In recent years, the blast resistance of hydraulic structures under explosion loads has attracted more and more attention. The damage calculation method of prestressed aqueducts subjected to blasting load is still a complicated problem. For this purpose, the theory of computation of the water pressure blasting is introduced and the formula for calculating the charge weight of the water pressure blasting is presented. The accuracy of the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) algorithm of the underwater explosion model is verified by the previous experiment. Then, a fully coupled three-dimensional numerical model of a prestressed aqueduct is established to acquire the dynamic performances and failure mechanisms of the prestressed aqueduct subjected to water pressure blasting. The influence of the prestress and pull rod on nonlinear dynamic performances and failure modes of a prestressed aqueduct subjected to water pressure blasting are discussed. Finally, based on the wave and material mechanics, a method of calculation for the prestressed aqueduct subjected to water pressure blasting is presented. The accuracy of the suggested method is validated by the damage mode of the prestressed aqueduct subjected to water pressure blasting under various TNT weights. The analysis results show that the proposed method can satisfy the relationship between the damage characteristics of the prestressed aqueduct to water pressure blasting and various TNT weights. 1.5 kg TNT is insufficient to completely shatter the prestressed aqueduct, while 3.5 kg TNT can cause a perfect crushing effect. 7.5 kg TNT will result in excessive fragmentation of the prestressed aqueduct and inefficient utilization of the explosive energy. The proposed damage calculation method can provide significant support for explosion analysis of the prestressed thin-walled aqueduct structure.
期刊介绍：
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
