Abstract: This study investigates the structural response of cylindrical steel silos subjected to internal explosive loading due to the accidental detonation of stored C-4 material, using finite element analysis (FEA) in ANSYS. Steel silos, commonly employed in various industries for bulk material storage, pose significant safety concerns when used for storing high-energy explosives such as C-4. The research focuses on analyzing the dynamic behavior, stress wave propagation, deformation characteristics, and failure mechanisms of steel silos under internal blast conditions. A detailed 3D finite element model of the steel silo was developed in ANSYS, incorporating material and geometric nonlinearity, appropriate boundary conditions, and internal blast load modeling based on the detonation characteristics of C-4. Multiple charge weights and detonation positions were evaluated to assess the severity and distribution of blast effects. The simulation results highlight the critical zones experiencing high stress, plastic deformation, and potential structural failure, offering insights into the vulnerability and structural resilience of steel silos under such loading. These findings contribute to improved safety design, risk assessment, and structural mitigation strategies for steel storage silos in high-risk applications.
Keywords: Steel silos, C-4 explosive, internal blast loading, finite element analysis (FEA), ANSYS, structural response, dynamic analysis, stress wave propagation, deformation, blast resistance, safety assessment, explosion modeling
