Experimental Investigation on the Deformation and Fracture of Steel Square Tubes under Double-Explosion Loadings

Figure 7

Typical failure modes of square tube in Mode III. (a) The crack presents an axial H-type crack (back without penetration) (a = 3.0 mm, R = 16 cm, m = 100 g + 160 g, TZ9). (b) The crack presents an axial H-type crack (back penetration) (a = 3.0 mm, R = 12 cm, m = 100 g + 160 g, TZ11).
