Disclosed are a method for measuring deformation of
metal cylinders under an internal explosion effect and a device. The device consists of an exploder, a priming device, a plurality of electric probes, a multichannel
detonation velocity meter and
signal recording equipment. The exploder is arranged on an axis of a
metal cylinder, the priming device detonates the exploder and outputs a priming
time signal, the electric probes are arranged outside the
metal cylinder, by the aid of the multichannel
detonation velocity meter,
pulse response is generated when measuring points of the electric probes contact with the wall of the
metal cylinder, the
signal recording equipment is used for recording output pulses of the multichannel
detonation velocity meter and the priming
time signal, gap values among the measuring points of the electric probes and the wall of the
metal cylinder form a non-equivalence sequence, and when one of the electric probes contacts with the wall surface of the
metal cylinder, a deformation value measured at the position of the corresponding measuring point of the
electric probe corresponds to
radial deformation of the metal cylinder. The method and the device have the advantages of simplicity, directness, reliable measurement results, easiness in operation and the like, measurement of deformation of different ranges is realized by means of changing mounting positions of the measuring points of the electric probes, and the method and the device are particularly applicable to measuring large-deformation parameters.
