Theoretical Investigation of Fracture in Stress Waves of Anisotropic Cylinder Under Internal Explosion.

Fracture and stress-strain state (SSS) of significantly anisotropic composite cylinders have been analytically and numerically investigated under internal explosion. Four possible types of fracture have been determined, including spallation fracture. The features of wave the SSS and strength of thin- and thick-walled shells as well as the dependence of the maximum permissible critical mass of the charge on the cylinder thickness have been established.
