Explosive Optimization for a Forty-Two Degree Conical Shaped Charge

Abstract

Computational studies on the jet from a forty-two degree conical liner are reported . Three different modes of initiation were studied with a view to predicting the best jet. The explosive parameters were varied systematically with a view to determining the effects of each parameter on the jet formed.
