Numerical simulation on explosion in double-layer medium of concrete and soil

The numerical simulation on explosion in concrete and soil is performed by using the three-dimension finite element code LS-DYNA, into which a continuum damage model which can well describe the fracture of concrete is implemented. As a consequence, wave propagation and attenuation in concrete and on soil-concrete interface are obtained respectively. Moreover, the damage regions of concrete at different thicknesses of soil (TOS) and depths of charge (DOC) are procured. The existent soil reduces damage region of concrete. Numerical results provide reference for design of warhead and protective structure and blasting.
