为研究大型钢制拱顶式储油罐在可燃气体爆炸作用下的破坏和变形特征,对多个储油罐缩比模型进行爆炸实验.并利用ANSYS/LS-DYNA软件,建立了缩比为1:25的5000m^3储油罐数值模型,对模型在爆炸冲击作用下的破坏过程进行数值模拟.实验与数值结果表明:爆炸冲击波对储油罐缩比模型具有瞬间突跃增压的冲击特性,罐壁迎爆面驻点区域超压峰值最高;迎爆面中部驻点区首先屈服并带动相邻部分达到屈服状态。同时在变形区周围明显形成不规则的塑性铰环,导致罐壁产生内凹屈曲.在此过程中,罐内液体既对罐壁产生一定的冲击作用,也能吸收和耗散部分爆炸能量.
In order to investigate the damage and deformation mechanism of large scale steel fixed-roof oil-storage tanks under the combustible gas explosion, a series of explosion experiments of scaled models are conducted. The l: 25 scaled numerical models of oil-storage tanks with a capacity of 5 000 m3 are also set up by ANSYS/LS-DYNA software, and their damage processes under the blast impact are numerically simulated. Both the experimental results and the numerical simulations show that the blast loading curve displays a pressure jump instantaneously at the moment of contact with the experimental models, and the overpressure peaks at the stagnation area of the outer surface on the blast side. The yield range first appears at the stagnation area and then propagates to the neighboring parts, and the irregular plastic hinge circle obviously appears around the deformation area, which results in the concaved buckling of the tank inner surface. During the whole process, the inner liquid not only impacts on the structures, but also absorbs and consumes part of the blast energy.
