Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, the effects of static stresses on the blast‐induced crack in polymethyl methacrylate specimens with an empty hole were investigated by caustic system. The propagation behavior and re‐initiation process of blast‐induced crack under initial static stress and high stress unloading were investigated. The results show that when the direction of the empty hole is perpendicular to the static stress, the static stress reduces the length of the main crack. However, when the static stress is very high, the length of main cracks does not decrease. In addition, the static stress reduces the crack velocity and dynamic stress intensity factor (DSIF) and suppresses the increase of DSIFs and crack velocity due to reflected wave. The crack arrested under high stress unloading propagates again in the later stage. Moreover, the duration of high stress unloading lasts approximately 1 ms.
