Abstrakt: On the premise of security, it is necessary to ensure good operational performance and technical indicators for nonlethal weapons such as flash detonation bombs. To make the weight of a flash detonation grenade more convenient for hand throwing and material costs save, the outer dimensions of the grenade body are fixed, and the optimal parameters of outer shell thickness of the vertigo grenade are explored. Based on the maximum deformation energy theorem, the strength of the shell with the obtained maximum thickness of 8 mm is checked, and then the optimal shell thickness under the ideal air explosion condition is obtained by reducing the thickness; Then check the thread strength to obtain the inner casing fracture, shock wave, and sound pressure level. The fragmentation performance test, detonation test, and sound pressure level test were carried out for the projectiles involving the shell thickness of 4 and 5 mm, and the simulation results were verified from three aspects of sound intensity, shell strength, and fragments. The results show that the maximum equivalent stress is 232.6 MPa and the maximum deformation is 1.07 × 10−4 mm when the outer shell thickness of the vertigo grenade is 5 mm, which is less than the material failure strength standard and no plastic deformation could occur. The structural connection strength of the missile body meets the standard. Most of the fragments are trapped in the cavity. The average sound pressure level at 1.5 m can reach 159.7 dB. The relative error between the sound pressure level at 3 m and the live ammunition test results is 4.8%, which meets the expected operational technical indicators and has good safety performance. The results of the numerical simulation can provide a reference for the design optimization and performance evaluation of similar vertigo grenades. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
