Vibration Characteristics Analysis of Composite Double-Layer Explosive Vessel Shell Subjected to Explosion Loading

Abstract EN

Explosive vessels are vulnerable to shock wave impacts during operation processing.

It is necessary to explore the vessel’s vibration characteristics.

In this paper, acceleration sensors were adopted to collect vibration acceleration signals at the inner and outer surfaces of the composite double-layer explosive vessel under explosive loading.

Then, the effective vibration velocity curve can be obtained by fitting polynomials to eliminate the acceleration integral trend.

Thereafter, Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) was applied to analyze the time-frequency distribution of vibration velocity signals.

The results showed that the special “steel plate–buffer interlayer–steel plate” structure can effectively attenuate the explosion vibration effect, and the frequency distribution range of vibration signal at the inner surface was wider than that at the outer surface, and furthermore the main vibration frequency was close to the natural frequency at the inner surface.

Meanwhile, vibration amplitude and the main vibration frequency decreased obviously compared with the outer surface, and the vibration time of 0–200 Hz low-order frequency was shortened.

The above researches closely linked the energy distribution with frequency of vibration signals and provided valuable reference for safer protection and vibration reduction design of explosive vessel.
