Download or read book Combined Theoretical and Experimental Study of Ice Behavior Under Shock and Explosive Loads written by Maxim Yu. Orlov and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-23 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents theoretical and experimental studies of ice fracturing process during impact and explosion load. It shows how to obtain ice in natural and artificial conditions. The book summarizes the results of full-scale experiments for 5 years on undermining ice sheets with emulsion explosives. It presents an algorithm that simulates the process of fracturing of thick ice subjected to blast load, showing that the behavior of ice under impact and explosive loads can be described by a model of continuum mechanics. Qualitative and quantitative assessments of the ballistic perfomance of an ice cube after deep penetration low-velocity projectiles are reported in this book. Some pilot problems are formulated for a deeper understanding of the mechanics of ice fracturing during impact and explosion.
