Title: Pressure Loads by Gas in an Enclosed Chamber in DYNA3D

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/15013466· OSTI ID:15013466

New algorithms that efficiently calculate the volume of a closed chamber are presented in this paper. The current pressure in the enclosed chamber can then be computed, based on the user-specified gas law, from the updated volume and the initial volume and pressure of the chamber. This pressure load function is very useful in modeling common features, such as air pocket, airbag, piston, and gun barrel, in structural analyses.
