Effect of the Preexisting Fissure with Different Fillings in PMMA on Blast-Induced Crack Propagation by Xin Yang, Xiangguo Zeng, Chuanjin Pu, Dingjun Xiao

“…The length of the far-end wing crack decreases with the increase of the distance L, and the length of the far-end wing crack in the air-filled specimens is larger than those in soil-filled and water-filled specimens. The damage-pressure curve of the far-end wing crack initiation point shows “S”-type change, and the damage-pressure curve shows two obvious damage evolution processes of initial nonlinear and later linear stages. …”
