This study analyzes the blast resistance in triple-period minimal surface (TPMS) sandwich panel structures with a cellular structure. The explosion test of the TPMS sandwich panel was carried out, and experimental data verified the effectiveness of the finite element model. Four TPMS configurations, Diamond, Gyroid, IWP, and Primitive, were selected as the core of the sandwich panel to determine the dynamic response process of the TPMS sandwich panel under the action of a blast load. The effects of the thickness of the core material and the explosive charge on the blast resistance in the TPMS sandwich panel were investigated. The results show that the increase in core thickness reduces the blast energy absorption efficiency of the sandwich panel, and the energy resistance in the Diamond configuration sandwich panel is stronger than the other three configurations under the same blast load; the increase in explosive charge significantly increases the displacement of the sandwich panel, and the Gyroid configuration shows better energy absorption effect; different TPMS configurations and panel thickness have a significant effect on the deformation and energy absorption of the sandwich panel under the blast load. The results of this study can promote the application of TPMS sandwich structures in blast-resistant structures.
In order to ensure the safe operation of buried polyethylene pipelines adjacent to blasting excavations, controlling the effects of blasting vibration loads on the pipelines is a key concern. Model tests on buried polyethylene pipelines under blasting loads were designed and implemented, the vibration velocity and dynamic strain response of the pipelines were obtained using a TC-4850 blast vibrometer and a UT-3408 dynamic strain tester, and the distribution characteristics of blast vibration velocity and dynamic strain were analyzed based on the experimental data. The results show that the blast load has the greatest effect on the circumferential strain of the polyethylene pipe, and the dynamic strain response is greatest at the section of the pipe nearest to the blast source. Pipe peak vibration velocity (PPVV), ground peak particle velocity (GPPV), and the peak dynamic strain of the pipe were highly positively correlated, which verifies the feasibility of using GPPV to characterize pipeline vibration and strain level. According to the failure criteria and relevant codes, combined with the analysis of experimental results, the safety threshold of additional circumferential stress on the pipeline is 1.52 MPa, and the safety control vibration speed of the ground surface is 21.6 cm/s.
