Thermal action of pulse radiation on the carbon conic shells loaded with internal pressure

The new mechanism of constructions destruction as a result of thermal action of radiations and particles fluxes was considered. It is supposed that interruption of construction operability comes owing to non-stationary processes of deformation and destruction. Non-stationary deformation and destruction take place as a result of action of quasi-stationary working loadings at saltatory change of construction rigidity. Jump of rigidity arises at volume and impact heating of material by means of action of radiations and particles fluxes.

A numerical method for predicting of the thermal and tension-strain states of thin-walled orthotropic constructions having variable thickness under the action of energy fluxes of different physical nature are considered. Physical and chemical processes in result of heating of composite construction materials were taken into account. These processes are the binder pyrolysis, chemical reactions of carbon and air flow components, and the ablation of carbon residue. Non-stationary processes occurring in the shell has been numerically simulated. Model of layer-by-layer destruction is used in this simulation. (paper)
