Tubular metal specimens are explosively expanded to fragmentation, and the effects of wall materials, thicknesses, notches in walls, explosive driver diameters and the initiated locations are investigated on the deformation and fracture behavior of the cylinders experimentally and numerically. In the standard tests, the driver is a column of low density powder of high explosive PETN, inserted coaxially into the bore of a smooth-walled cylinder and initiated by exploding a bundle of fine copper wires at the column axis using a discharge current from a high-voltage capacitor bank. Notched cylinders with single axial slit, various grooves in the walls, and smooth cylinders with varied wall thicknesses were tested. Low-carbon steels and an aluminum alloy A5052 were provided in addition to the standard smooth-walled 304 stainless steel cylinder, and they were fully or partially charged with varying explosive column diameters. The initiated locations in the explosive column are changed for comparison, placing the bundle of fine copper wires eccentrically from the central axis or replacing the fine wire bundle into a bold wire line except the middle portion at the central axis for central point initiation. Additionally an explosive-filled cylindrical vessel with welded endplate at the one end is initiated at the other end explosive surface exploding wire-rows and expanded by axially propagating explosive detonation to fracture for comparison with the uniform expansion. Deformation and crack initiation of expanding cylinders are observed with high speed camera, and most of the fragments have been recovered successfully. Recovered fragments have been measured and investigated using a fragmentation model. The effects of test parameters on the deformation and fracture behavior of metallic cylinders are discussed with use of numerical simulations, indicating applicability of the fragmentation model and suggesting future necessary studies.
