Resumen

A multilayer liquid-containing protective structure is composed of a liquid tank, ceramic, a honeycomb sandwich and homogeneous steel. This structure has superior resistance to combined blast wave and fragment loading. Due to the relatively complicated construction of the structure, the inner damage, energy absorption and the protection characteristics of the multilayer liquid-containing protective structure need to be further studied. In this paper, a multilayer liquid-containing structural model is constructed, the dynamic response process of multilayer liquid-containing structure under combined blast wave and fragment loading is analyzed, and the damage and energy absorption characteristics of each layer structure are investigated. In addition, the effects of the charge mass and fragment form on the structural failure modes and energy absorption characteristics are discussed. The results indicate that different modes of damage occur in each layer structure. The front plate of the liquid tank sustains the most damage and absorbs the most energy, and the honeycomb sandwich absorbs the second most energy. The damage area of the front plate and the degree of compression collapse of the honeycomb sandwich increase with increasing charge mass. When the charge mass is small, the damage mode of the multilayer liquid-containing structure is greatly affected by fragments, and the damage effect of the blast wave increases with increasing charge mass. For a constant charge mass, the degree of damage to the protective structure is minimally impacted by the fragment weight, and the degree of damage can be substantially reduced by reducing the number of fragments.
