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 paper, we present an experimental and theoretical study of the liner apex. First, a series of experiments were conducted in which liner apices were filled to various heights to inhibit the collapse of the apex portion of the liner. Next, a one‐dimensional analytical shaped charge model was used to simulate the filled cone experiments. From these experiments and calculations we have determined that approximately 30–40% of the cone height is used to produce a compact tip particle rather than a stretching jet. This indicates that i t may be possible to redesign the apex portion of the liner to achieve a more efficient use of liner height.
