Abstract

It was found that the breakup‐time of jets formed by shaped charges of cylindrical symmetry is given very accurately by the formula:
This formula is obtained from a general principal applied here for the first time which says that the breakup‐time of homogeneous ductile metals under very high strain rates is equal to the smallest initial dimension of the elongating metal divided by V~PL~. When applied to simple configurations such as a pipe which expands due to internal explosion this principal leads to a correct prediction of the average formed fragment dimensions. This principal provides for the first time an explanation to the experimental fact that metals' ductility can increase by an order of magnitude when the strain rate increases from 10^βˆ’2^ to 10^5^ pro second.

## Abstract This study demonstrates that the pex portion of a typical 42Β° conically lined shaped charge is not being efficiently utilized. In fact, approximately 40% of the liner height at the apex end of the cone does not provide an efficient jet as far as penetration depth is concerned. In this p

## Abstract Recording the trajectory of a fully‐particulated shaped charge jet at two different positions along its flight path, in two mutually orthogonal planes at each recording station, allows the decomposition of the overall transverse velocities of the particles into two components. This can
