Construction of Novel LSCs
Abstract
In order to provide more tangible experimental data for the design of novel LSCs, a series ofexperiments based observation of the flyer (LSC liner simulant) deformation and the LSC jettingbehavior followed by the advanced optimization of novel LSCs is proposed. In this time, 1)more complex shaped liner simulants (other than flat or simple curved) will be tested to identifythe unique deformation behavior, exploring a potential use of such deformation in thedevelopment of novel LSCs. This is based on a hypothesis that a flyer (or liner) simulant can bea reasonable replica of the LSC liner, and the explosively driven flyer deformation wouldprovide vital information in designing of novel LSCs (FY16). 2) the LSC jet spreading (orfocusing) prior to impact will be experimentally investigated to understand the best optimizeddesign of the LSC liner utilizing the commercially manufactured LSCs. After a series analysesin numerical/analytical, this information will be implemented to the design of novel LSCs(FY17). Once this process completes, 3) a series of fabrication/demonstration of the firstprototypical LSCs design will be accomplished. This task will provide the information about theadvancement and efficiency of the prototypical LSCs for the use in the military application(FY18).
