Theoretical Initial Shock Properties of Porous Materials Under Explosion Loads

Aim To study effects of the initial porosity on initial shock properties under explosion loads. Methods By combining classical detonation theory with shock Hugoniots of porous materials , a theoretical relationship between initial shock parameters and porosity was established. Results Effects of the initial porosity on theoretical initial shock properties are in good agreement with experimental results. Conclusion This theoretical model is effective for predicting the initial shock properties of porous materials under explosion loads .
