Abstract
We present the results of an experimental investigation of the influence of the geometry of an irradiated object on the picture of its thermomechanical fracture under the action of a short pulse of X-radiation generated by a nuclear explosion. It is shown that the observed picture of thermo-mechanical fracture of the irradiated object greatly depends on its geometry. Geometric effects may decrease the fracture threshold of the irradiated object and increase its degree of fracture as a result of the cumulation of stresses, appearance of cumulative ejections of the material, and losses of stability under the pulse action of X-radiation on cones, conic shells, disks, and rods.
