Analysis of the Cracking Mechanism of an Elliptical Bipolar Linear-Shaped Charge Blasting

This study investigates the cracking mechanism of an elliptical bipolar linear-shaped charge blasting via theoretical analysis, experimentation, and numerical simulation. The results show that in the shaped charge blasting, due to the effect of the shaped jet in the direction of the shaped energy, a certain initial crack length is formed. In the action phase of the stress wave, the energy accumulation direction reduces the load required for crack initiation and propagation. The crack propagation length generated in the energy accumulation direction is greater than the nonenergy accumulation direction. The load value of the initial shock wave in the shaped energy direction is significantly greater, by about 1.64 times than the nonshaped energy direction, and the peak load acting time is earlier than the nonshaped energy direction. A large amount of impact explosion energy is consumed in the area close to the charged energy explosion due to the crushing area, regardless of the charged or noncharged energy direction. In the energy accumulation direction, the shock wave attenuation rate is faster in the near explosion area and the stress wave attenuation rate is slower in the mid and far areas of the explosion. The difference in the explosion load in the mid and far areas is small. In the nonconcentrated direction, owing to the reflected compression wave, the second stress peak appears in the nonconcentrated direction. However, its value is smaller than that of the initial shock wave peak.
