A Model for Shaped Charge Warhead Design
Abstract
A model for shaped charge warhead design was developed. The model is incorporated in the computer code - CUMUL. The code includes detonation wave profile estimation, liner collapse, arrival of collapsed liner to the centerline of shaped charge, jet creation and jet breakup. The penetration phenomena are discussed and governing equations are presented. Two cases dealing with the target type are included: homogenous and non-homogeneous targets. For the purpose of verifying CUMUL, a set of 20 specimens of shaped charges was tested. The tests were directed to investigate the effect of cone apex angle and stand-off distance on the performance of shaped charge. From the comparison between experiments and CUMUL results, it was concluded that CUMUL program shows a good agreement with the experiments. That enables it to be a powerful tool for shaped charge warhead design.
