Shock Development Prior to Detonation in Shaped Layered Nonlinear Elastic Media with Stochastic Variability.

Abstract

The objective of this work was to examine the way in which an acceleration wave propagates in a randomly layered nonlinear medium in which the material constants vary stochastically from layer to layer. Furthermore the problem, although formulated as a one-dimensional configuration, was modified to describe propagation in a bar in which there is a slowly changing cross-sectional area. Thus the analysis may be applied to formed charges which have an axis of symmetry and a slowly varying cross-section normal to that axis.
