Ground reflection pressure plays a crucial role in evaluating the destructive power of ammunition explosions. Accurately measuring this pressure is essential for assessing ammunition’s destructive capability and guiding ammunition design. In this study, a theoretical analysis of the parasitic effect of shock and vibration was conducted and COMSOL was employed for performing a multi-physics finite element numerical simulation analysis to elucidate the attenuation characteristics of stress waves in commonly used shock- and vibration-resistant materials. Furthermore, a device was designed using aluminum foam and polytetrafluoroethylene to mitigate the parasitic effects on the ground reflection pressure sensor. Experimental testing was conducted to validate the device’s effectiveness. The results demonstrated that the device successfully reduced the intensity of stress waves reaching the ground reflection pressure sensor, with a relative attenuation rate of 29.6% in peak stress values. The sensor measurements obtained with the suppression device exhibited smoother curves and higher signal-to-noise ratios, significantly improving the reliability of the measurement results. Our study holds considerable engineering application value in enhancing the accuracy of shock wave pressure measurements in explosive fields.
