A Study of Jets from Explosive Shaped Charges

Abstract

A shaped charge jet, approximated as a right circular cylinder with a uniform velocity gradient, is treated from the energetic and stochastic viewpoints to yield, as a function of material properties, the size distribution of jet particles after jet break-up.
