The prediction of fracture time and crack development of metal shell under the impact load is a very significant research direction in engineering. In this paper, a coupling method is used to solve the dynamic expansion fracture process of center-blast tube with V-grooves under the pressure. A one-dimensional two-fluid model was utilized to govern the transient combustion. The nonlinear mechanical behaviors were predicted based on the finite element software ABAQUS, and the pressure and the structure were coupled by applying a user subroutine interface VUAMP in ABAQUS. The coupling approach was validated by comparing the predicted results with experimental results. Based on the validated approach, the characteristics of expansion fracture and the process of crack propagation on the center-blast tube with V-grooves were studied, and the effect grooves depth were analyzed. The results show that the crack propagation on tube can be divided into two stages that stable propagation stage and unstable propagation stage. The burst pressure of the center-blast tube with V-grooves decreases with the increase of crack depth, and the burst pressure decreases by about 7MPa with every depth increase of 0.25mm.
