The paper shows the estimations of maximal penetration depths of shaped charge jets in a steel armour as a function of stand-off distance to the liner base. The data – in-stantaneous coordinates of positions, masses, and velocities of jet elements were received as results of numerical calculations for selected examples of designs of shaped charges. It was shown that the crater’s depth is a function of acceptable maximal extension of jet elements and their minimal velocity. The results were compared with experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
