The water entry behaviors of projectiles with different cone-headed angles were studied numerically, experimentally and theoretically, mainly focusing on the hydrodynamic impact in the initial stage. Based on MMALE algorithm, it was proposed a formula of impact deceleration, which relied on the initial entry velocity and cone-headed angle. Meanwhile, in order to verify the validity of the simulation model, experiments using accelerometer and high-speed camera were carried out, and their results were in a good agreement with simulation results. Also, theoretical calculation results of cavity diameter were compared with experiments and simulation results. It was observed that the simulation method had a good reliability, which would make forecast on impact deceleration in an engineering project.

본 논문에서는 Hoek-Brown (HB) 파괴기준을 Holmquist-Johnson-Cook (HJC) 콘크리트 재료모델에 접목시킴으로써 LS-DYNA 상에서 암반발파를 모델링할 때 현장암반의 고유한 특성이 잘 반영될 수 있도록 도모하였다. 이것은 많은 지질학적 불연속면을 포함하고 있는 현장암반이 지니고 있는 독특한 특징을 강조하기 위함이다. 두 모델의 접목은 HB 파괴기준으로 HJC 재료모델의 정적 강도 부분을 교체함으로써 이루어지며, 교체과정은 통계학적 곡선적합 기법에 의해 수행된다. 본 논문에서는 접목의 과정이 상세하게 소개되며, 획득된 HJC 재료모델의 사용에 대한 실례도 제시된다. 제시된 수치계산은 현장의 석회암 암반의 단일공 발파에 대한 평면변형률 모델링으로서 LS-DYNA가 제공하는 유체-구조물 상호작용(FSI) 기법과 다중재료 라그랑주-오일러(MMALE) 정식화 기법을 조합하여 수행된다.

A hypothetical core destructive accident (HCDA) has received widespread attention as one of the most serious accidents in sodium-cooled fast reactors. This study combined recent advantages in numerical methods to realize realistic modeling of the complex fluid-structure interactions during HCDAs in a full-scale sodium-cooled fast reactor. The multi-material arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method is used to describe the fluid-structure interactions inside the container. Both the structural deformations and plug rises occurring during HCDAs are evaluated. Two levels of expansion energy are considered with two different reactor models. The simulation results show that the container remains intact during an accident with small deformations. The plug on the top of the container rises to an acceptable level after the sealing between the it and its support is destroyed. The methodology established in this study provides a reliable approach for evaluating the safety feature of a container design.

Air gun shock systems are commonly used as alternative explosion energy sources for underwater explosion (UNDEX) shock tests owing to their low cost and environmental impact. The airbag inflator of automotive airbag systems is also very useful to generate extremely rapid underwater gas release in labscale tests. To overcome the restrictions on the very small computational time step owing to the very fine fluid mesh around the nozzle hole in the explicit integration algorithm, and also the absence of a commercial solver and software for gas UNDEX of airbag inflator, an idealized airbag inflator and fluid mesh modeling technique was developed using nozzle holes of relatively large size and several small TNT charges instead of gas inside the airbag inflator. The objective of this study is to validate the results of an UNDEX response analysis of one and two idealized airbag inflators by comparison with the results of shock tests in a small water tank. This comparison was performed using the multi-material Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation and fluid-structure interaction algorithm. The number, size, vertical distance from the nozzle outlet, detonation velocity, and lighting times of small TNT charges were determined. Through mesh size convergence tests, the UNDEX response analysis and idealized airbag inflator modeling were validated.
