ATTENUATION OF FRAGMENT VELOCITIES DUE TO THE DEFORMATION RESISTANCE OF THE CASING

Abstract

Estimates are made of the energy required to expand an exploding shell casing relative to the kinetic energies of the fragments. It is shown that the energy of deformation detracts very little from the ultimate fragment velocities.
