Research of the behavior of ice on water under explosive loads

Complex theoretical and experimental studies of the behavior of ice under dynamic loads are presented. New experimental data about blast of snow-covered ice have been obtained. A complete coincidence of the experimental data of 2013 and 2017 was found. Test calculations, including impact test have been carried out. Shock adiabatics of ice and water are presented. The behavior of the ice block on the water under explosion was investigated. The velocity of the free surface, the volume of ice destruction, the diameter of the explosive lane in ice cover were calculated. Recommendations for more effective ice destruction under these conditions were given.
