PENETRATION IN GRANITE BY SHAPED CHARGE LINERS OF VARIOUS METALS by HEMENDRA NATH KALlA, 1939 A DISSERTATION Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-ROLLA In Partial Fulfillment of the Require~ts for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in MINING ENGINEERING T2388 1970 c. I 92 pages 193955 i i ABSTRACT The penetration in Missouri red granite by cylindrical charges with metal liners of aluminum 2011 (T-3), aluminum 7075 (T-6), yellow brass, monel, maraging steel (vascomax 250), and copper was measured. Metals having high ductility and moderate compressive strength penetrated deeper than high strength maraging steel. Aluminum required a greater standoff for optimum penetration than the other metal liners tested. Preliminary metallographic studies of the liner metals and slugs showed that the grains had elongated along the slug axis. The metals containing zinc formed very small or no slugs. The granite grains were highly fractured. The holes were dis­ colored and coated with jet metal. Penetration was affected by bedding planes and joints in the rock. Jet characteristics could not be photographed using a high speed framing camera because the view was obscured by the luminous front created by shock waves. Jet tip velocities were measured by pin oscilloscope techniques and were in the range of 7.91 - 9.83 millimeters per microsecond. The rate of penetration in granite was also obtained in this same manner. A mathematical expression was developed to calculate collapse time of cones using three-dimensional collapse criteria. ; ; i ACKNOWLEDGMENT The author considers it a privilege to express his gratitude to Dr. R.

Composites with 60~90% of tungsten are used in liners of some specialty shaped charges. The penetration is enhanced by a factor against copper for homogeneous steel target. Tungsten powder based shaped charge liners are also especially suitable for oil well completion. In this study, WCu composites manufactured by different process are used for testing of dynamic tensile extrusion (DTE) behaviour. One samples were made by copper infiltrated method. The other samples were manufactured by metal injection molding methods with reduced tungsten copper composite powder. DTE tests were carried out by launching the sphere samples (Dia. 7.62mm) to the conical extrusion die at a speed of ~375m/s. The DTE fragmentation behaviour of tungsten copper composites after soft-recovered were examined and compared with each other. 1 Introduction to each other through DTE test. Tungsten–copper (WCu) is a mixture of tungsten and copper. As tungsten and copper are not mutually soluble, 2 Experimental the material is composed of distinct particles of copper There are many methods making tungsten copper dispersed in a matrix of tungsten. So, we are called a tungsten copper composite instead of a tungsten copper composite.

Hiroe3 1Project Division, Chugoku Kayaku Co., Ltd., Japan 2Yoshii Plant, Chugoku Kayaku Co., Ltd., Japan 3Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, Kumamoto University, Japan Abstract Experiments with and simulations of linear shaped charges (LSCs) have been conducted to improve the penetration performance and minimize collateral damage by fragments. Annealed tough pitch copper was selected for an appropriate liner material. The penetration depth increased by 50%, compared to current LSCs. The detonation effects of the explosive change the liner into jet and slug. However, the case is also transformed into fragments, which creates undesirable collateral damage. Polyvinyl chloride was adopted as the case material to reduce damage by fragments. No fragments were generated when the newly-designed LSCs were shot. For the simulation of the jet formation and target penetration, the AUTODYN planar Euler solver was selected, and the liner, case and explosive were filled on the Euler solver plane. The calculation results provided significant information about determining the optimal stand-off distance and allow the design of effective cutting plans for use with LSCs.

Abstract: The incorporation of reactive material damage element technology in ammunition war- heads is a research hotspot in the development of conventional ammunition. The research results are of great significance and military application value to promote the development of high-efficiency damage ammunition technology. In this paper, we aimed to understand the behavior of the reactive jet and its damage effect on a steel target by undertaking theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and experimental research. We studied the influence of structural and material parameters on the shape of the reactive jet based on autodyn-2d finite element simulation software, and the formation behavior of the reactive jet was verified using a pulsed X-ray experiment. By studying the combined damage caused by the steel target penetrating and exploding the reactive jet, the influence of the structural and performance parameters, and the explosion height of the reactive jet liner on the damage effect to the steel target was studied. A static explosion experiment was carried out, and the optimal structural and performance parameters for the reactive material and explosion height of the Citation: Zhang, X.; Wang, Z.; Yin, J.; reactive jet liner were obtained.

  • Material Combination to Mitigation of Behind Armour Debris After Shaped
    MATEC Web of Conferences 182, 02009 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201818202009 17th International Conference Diagnostics of Machines and Vehicles Material combination to mitigation of behind armour debris after shaped charge jet attack Marek Szudrowicz1,*1 1Wojskowy Instytut Techniki Pancernej i Samochodowej, 05-070 Sulejówek, Okuniewska 1, Poland Abstract. When a shaped charge jet perforates the steel armour plate, the residual jet is accompanied by a much wider cloud of behind armour debris (BAD) generated by stress wave interactions. BAD plays an important role in the evaluation of survivability of vehicle crew and components in a vehicle. The Behind Armor Debris (BAD) cloud caused by shaped charge jet impact was investigated. In order to simulate different configuration of material to mitigation of debris cloud the thickness of ceramics target tiles, glass and aramid laminate liners in contact with the armour plates was varied. 1 Introduction Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot (APDS) projectiles and High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) warheads are the main weapons used to damage or destroy armoured vehicles. If a such a warhead hits a vehicle, the highest danger for the crew is posed, apart primary jet, by fragments of the primary jet and armour spalls, which may reach a speed o 1000 m/s in case of heavier fragments and about 3000 m/s in case of the lighter ones. Additionally, effects related to changes of temperature and pressure should be considered (Fig. 1) [1]. Fig. 1. Effects of the penetration of armour. Behind armour debris. The following means are employed in design solutions in order to increase the chances of a vehicle crew to survive when vehicle is in danger of being hit by a HEAT warhead: - detonation of the warhead or otherwise destroying it at some distance from the vehicle, - disturbing, breaking or fragmenting the shaped charge jet produced after detonation of the warhead, - reduction of the depth of penetration, - minimizing of the above-mentioned detrimental effects caused by shaped charge jet penetrating the armour [2,3,4,5,6,7].

Keywords: linear shaped charges, target penetration, stand-off distance, Euler solver. 1 Introduction Liner shaped charges (LSCs) have the ability for the instantaneous cutting of the structures and have been used in the separation of the first and second stages, and the command destruction of solid rocket boosters (SRB) in the H-2A rocket. In the field of the military, LSCs are used the separation of the capsule in the anti- WIT Transactions on Modelling and Simulation, Vol 40, © 2005 WIT Press www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-355X (on-line) 160 Computational Ballistics II submarine rockets.
