A Link Between Shaped Charge Performance and Design

Abstract

It is illustrated that the penetration performance of a shaped charge determines 'best' values of parameters in the DiPersio, Simon, and Merendino theory of penetration by shaped-charge jets and that it is possible to relate these penetration parameters to design parameters such as cone angle and liner thickness.
