Abstract:Based on the structure of traditional small caliber APDS (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot), a novel reactive core projectile (RCP) is proposed to improve the damage capability against fuel tank. The penetration processes of RCPs impacting partially filled fuel tanks with different penetration angles are investigated by numerical simulation, in which the Powder Burn model is adopted to describe the unique impact-induced delayed deflagration behaviour of reactive material. The simulation results show that, compa… Show more
