A　significant　number　of　unexploded　bombs　have　remained　on　the　battlefield　since　World　War　II.　To　handle　these　unexploded　bombs　effectively　and　efficiently,　it　is　crucial　to　provide　a　robust　protection　and　lightweight　explosion-proof　shelter　that　ensures　the　safety　of　bomb　disposal　experts.　In　this　study,　three　materials　were　selected:　aluminum　alloy　6061-T6,　ultra-high　molecular　weight　polyethylene　(UHMWPE)　fiber　laminates　and　carbon　fiber　laminates.　The　deformation　resistance　and　shock　wave　overpressure　attenuation　effects　of　curved　and　square　explosion-proof　shelters　under　the　action　of　shock　wave　are　compared　through　real　explosion　experiment　and　finite　element　simulation.　The　test　results　indicate　that,　for　target　plate　with　equal　surface　density,　the　carbon　fiber　laminates　exhibit　superior　deformation　resistance　compared　to　UHMWPE　fiber　laminates　and　aluminum　plates.　Furthermore,　the　simulated　results　demonstrate　that　the　curved　structures　offer　better　deformation　resistance　than　square　structures.　Finally,　when　the　curved　explosion-proof　shelter　is　subjected　to　an　explosive　impact　at　a　distance　of　3　m　from　a　2　kg　TNT　charge　at　a　height　of　0.　5　m,　it　generates　lower　transmission　overpressure　than　the　square　counterpart　due　to　its　enhanced　deformation　resistance.　In　the　case　of　minimal　deformation　observed　in　this　scenario,　the　overpressure　within　the　shelter　remains　below　20　kPa—ensuring　personnel　safety　without　any　injuries　incurred.　Material　selection　has　minimal　influence　on　the　clipping　effect　of　curved　explosion-proof　shelter,　however,　the　carbon　fiber　laminates　yield　the　optimal　explosion-proof　effect　for　square　explosion-proof　shelters.　©　2023　China　Ordnance　Society.　All　rights　reserved.
