APPLICATION STUDY ON A NEW TYPE SHAPED CHARGE WARHEAD
AN Erfen
Open publisher page 1 citations
Abstract
A new type shaped charge warhead was put
forward based on the energy concepts and its penetration
capability was studied. Then the molding process and the
penetration mechanism were discussed with respect to the
shaped charge jet and the projectile produced by the new
type shaped charge warhead. Based on the above analysis,
the static steel target experiments were systematically car-
ried out based on the new type shaped charge warhead in
order to find the influence of the key configuration param-
eters and the match between the small angle liner material
and the large angle liner material on the penetration re-
sults. The experiment results revealed that at the optimal
stand offs of the new type shaped charge warhead and the
EFP, the penetration capability of the new type shaped
charge warhead could achieve an increase of about 50%
from the penetration capability of the EFP with a com-
parative diameter of their craters under the same charge
and casing conditions.
