To substantiate the design parameters of shaped charges that ensure the formation of aluminum particles in a wide velocity range(from 2.5 to 16 km/s), numerical modeling of the formation process was carried out within the framework of a two-dimensional axisymmetric problem of continuum mechanics using three different computing codes to increase the reliability of the results. The calculations consider shaped charges with a diameter of 20-100 mm with aluminum liners of various shapes. It is shown that the formation of particles with velocities close to the lower limit of the considered range is ensured by gently sloping segmental liners of degressive thickness. To form higher-velocity particles with velocities over 5 km/s, it is proposed to use combined liners, the jet-forming part of which has the shape of a hemisphere of constant thickness or the shape of a semi-ellipsoid or semi-superellipsoid of rotation of degressive thickness.展开更多

The penetration process and the destruction mechanism of concrete targets by shaped charges and kinetic energy projectiles are analyzed and compared. Experimental results suggest that both kinetic energetic projectile and shaped charge are capable of destroying concrete targets, but the magnitudes of damage are different. Compared with a kinetic energy projectile, a shaped charge has more significant effect of penetration into the target, and causes very large spalling area. Hence, a shaped charge is quite suitable for first-stage charge of tandem warhead. It is also found that, with the increase of shaped charge liner cone angle, the depth of penetration decreases gradually while the hole diameter becomes larger. Penetration depth with copper liner is larger than of aluminum liner but hole diameter is relatively smaller, and the shaped charge with steel liner is between the above two cases. The shaped charge with a cone angle of 100° can form a jet projectile charge (JPC). With JPC, a hole with optimum depth and diameter on concrete targets can be formed, which guarantees that the second-stage warhead smoothly penetrates into the hole and explodes at the optimum depth to achieve the desired level of destruction in concrete targets.展开更多

By dividing the problem into a pitted half-plane and an upper closed domain as an alluvial hill and applying continuity/boundary conditions at the interface, coupled equations were constructed and ultimately, the problem was solved step-by-step in the time domain to obtain the boundary values. After solving some verification examples, a semi-sine shaped alluvial hill located on an underground circular cavity was successfully analyzed to determine the amplification ratio of the hill surface. For sensitivity analysis, the effects of the impedance factor and shape ratio of the hill were also considered. The ground surface responses are illustrated as three-dimensional graphs in the time and frequency domains. The results show that the material properties of the hill and their heterogeneity with the underlying half-space had a significant effect on the surface response.展开更多

The thermal analysis and chemical reaction behavior of the PTFE/Al/Cu/Pb mixture are investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC),Thermo-gravimetry(TG), and Xray Diffraction(XRD) techniques. Then, the shaped charge liners with PTFE/Al/Cu/Pb reactive materials are fabricated, and the X-ray experiments show that they could form reactive jets with excellent performance under the detonation effects of the shaped charge. Based on that, the penetration experiments of shaped charge with PTFE/Al/Cu/Pb reactive liner against steel plates are carried out, and the results demonstrate that the PTFE/Al/Cu/Pb reactive jets could produce a deeper penetration depth compared to the traditional PTFE/Al reactive jets. Meanwhile, the PTFE/Al/Cu/Pb reactive jets also show significant inner-blast effects, leading to dramatically cracking or fragmentation behavior of the penetrated steel plates. This new PTFE/Al/Cu/Pb reactive liner shaped charge presents enhanced penetration behavior for steel targets that incorporates the penetration capability of a high-density and ductility jet, and the chemical energy release of PTFE-matrix reactive materials.展开更多

The effect of warhead shell on shaped charge jet velocity has been analyzed qualitatively in this paper. The numerical simulation results are creditable and in agreement well with that of the corresponding experiment. The research results show that the jet velocity of explosive with metal shell is higher than that without shell; when the shell thickness increases, jet' s head speed also increases; when the shell thickness increased to certain value, the jet velocity will not change any longer; with the same shell thickness, the bigger material density the higher jet's head velocity.展开更多

文摘Reactive armour is a very efficient add-on armour against shaped charge threats.Explosive reactive armour consists of one or several plates that are accelerated by an explosive.Similar but less violent acceleration of plates can also be achieved in a completely inert reactive armour.To be efficient against elongated jets,the motion of the plates needs to be inclined against the jet such that a sliding contact between the jet and the plates is established.This sliding contact causes a deflection and thinning of the jet.Under certain circumstances,the contact will become unstable,leading to severe disturbances on the jet.These disturbances will drastically reduce the jet penetration performance and it is therefore of interest to study the conditions that leads to an unstable contact.Previous studies on the interaction between shaped charge jets and flyer plates have shown that it is mainly the forward moving plate in an explosive reactive armour that is effective in disturbing the jet.This is usually attributed to the higher plate-to-jet mass flux ratio involved in the collision of the forward moving plate compared to the backward moving plate.For slow moving plates,as occurs in inert reactive armour,the difference in mass flux for the forward and backward moving plate is much lesser,and it is therefore of interest to study if other factors than the mass flux influences on the protection capability.In this work,experiments have been performed where a plate is accelerated along its length,interacting with a shaped charge jet that is fired at an oblique angle to the plate’s normal,either against or along the plate’s velocity.The arrangement corresponds to a jet interacting with a flyer plate from a reactive armour,with the exception that the collision velocity is the same for both types of obliquities in these experiments.The experiments show that disturbances on the jet are different in the two cases even though the collision velocities are the same.Numerical simulations of the interaction support the observation.The difference is attributed to the character of the contact pressure in the interaction region.For a backward moving plate,the maximum contact pressure is obtained at the beginning of the interaction zone and the contact pressure is therefore higher upstream than downstream of the jet while the opposite is true for a forward moving plate.A negative interface pressure gradient with respect to the jet motion results in a more stable flow than a positive,which means that the jet-plate contact is more stable for a backward moving plate than for a forward moving plate.A forward moving plate is thus more effective in disturbing the jet than a backward moving plate,not only because of the higher jet to plate mass flux ratio but also because of the character of the contact with the jet.

文摘The linear shaped charge cutting technology is an effective technology for aircraft separation.It can separate invalid components from aircrafts timely to achieve light-weight.Magnesium alloy is the lightest metal material,and can be used to cast effective light-weight components of an aircraft construction.However,the application study of the linear shaped charge cutting technology on magnesium alloy components is basically blank.In response to the demand for the linear separation of magnesium alloys,the Mg-12Gd-0.5Y-0.4Zn alloy is selected to carry out the target shaped charge cutting test.The effects of the shaped charge line density,cutting thickness,and mechanical properties on the cutting performance of the alloy are studied.The shaped charge cutting mechanism is analyzed through the notch structure.The results show that the linear shaped charge cutting performance is significantly affected by the penetration and the collapse.The higher the linear density is,the stronger the ability of the linear shaped charge cutter is,and the greater the penetration depth is,which is advantageous.However,the target structure will be damaged when it is too large(e.g.,4.5 g·m^(-1)).Within 12 mm,when the cutting thickness of the target increases,the penetration depth increases.The lower the tensile strength is,the greater the penetration depth is,and the more conducive the penetration depth to the shaped charge cutting is.When the elongation(EL)increases to 12%,the collapse of the target is incomplete and the target cannot be separated.When the tensile strength of the Mg-Gd-Y-Zn alloy is less than 350 MPa,the EL is less than 6.5%,the cutting thickness is less than 12 mm,and the linear shaped charge cutting of the magnesium alloy can be achieved stably.

文摘In order to develop a tandem warhead that can effectively destroy concrete targets, this paper explores the penetration performance of shaped charges with different cone angles and liner materials into concrete targets by means of experiments. The penetration process and the destruction mechanism of concrete targets by shaped charges and kinetic energy projectiles are analyzed and compared. Experimental results suggest that both kinetic energetic projectile and shaped charge are capable of destroying concrete targets, but the magnitudes of damage are different. Compared with a kinetic energy projectile, a shaped charge has more significant effect of penetration into the target, and causes very large spalling area. Hence, a shaped charge is quite suitable for first-stage charge of tandem warhead. It is also found that, with the increase of shaped charge liner cone angle, the depth of penetration decreases gradually while the hole diameter becomes larger. Penetration depth with copper liner is larger than of aluminum liner but hole diameter is relatively smaller, and the shaped charge with steel liner is between the above two cases. The shaped charge with a cone angle of 100° can form a jet projectile charge (JPC). With JPC, a hole with optimum depth and diameter on concrete targets can be formed, which guarantees that the second-stage warhead smoothly penetrates into the hole and explodes at the optimum depth to achieve the desired level of destruction in concrete targets.

文摘With the development of two-stage munitions(a precursor shaped charge(SC)and a following kinetic energy projectile)to attack the hard concrete targets,as well as the increasing applications of ultra-high performance concrete(UHPC)in both civil and military protective structures,a comparative study on the impact performance of SC formed jet on UHPC target is performed experimentally and numerically at present.Firstly,a series of jet penetration/perforation test on the UHPC,45# steel and UHPC/45# steel composite targets are conducted.By assessing the penetration depth and borehole(crater and tunnel)diameter,the influences of target material and configuration as well as the standoff distance of SC on the impact performance of jet are experimentally discussed.Then,by adopting the 2 D multi-material Arbitrary Lagrange-Euler(ALE)algorithm,Fluid-Structure Interaction(FSI)method and erosion algorithm implemented in the finite element code LS-DYNA,the formation and impact performance of jet in the present test are well reproduced.Finally,based on the validated numerical algorithms,constitutive models and the corresponding parameters,the influences of target material(UHPC,NSC and 45# steel),standoff distance,target configuration(stacked and spaced)and weight efficiency on the impact performance of jet are further discussed.The derived conclusions could provide helpful references for evaluating the ballistic performance of jet and designing the protective structures.

文摘Experiments on shaped charge penetration into high and ultrahigh strength steel-fiber reactive powder concrete(RPC) targets were performed in this paper.Results show that the variation of penetration depth and crater diameter with concrete strength is different from that of shaped charge penetration into normal strength concrete(NSC).The crater diameter of RPC is smaller than that of NSC penetrated by the shaped charge.The jet particles are strongly disturbed and hardly reach the crater bottom because they pass through the narrow channel formed by jet penetration into the RPC.The effects of radial drift velocity and gap effects of jet particles for a shaped charge penetration into RFC target are discussed.Moreover,a theoretical model is presented to describe the penetration of shaped charge into RPC target.As the concrete strength increases,the penetration resistance increases and the entrance crater diameter decreases.Given the drift velocity and narrow crater channel,the low-velocity jet particles can hardly reach the crater bottom to increase the penetration depth.Moreover,the narrow channel has a stronger interference to the jet particles with increasing concrete strength;hence,the gap effects must be considered.The drift velocity and gap effects,which are the same as penetration resistance,also have significant effects during the process of shaped charge penetration into ultrahigh-strength concrete,The crater profiles are calculated through a theoretical model,and the results are in good agreement with the experiments.

文摘Penetration and internal blast behavior of reactive liner enhanced shaped charge against concrete space were investigated through experiments and simulations.The volume of the enclosed concrete space is about 15 m^(3).The reactive liner enhanced shaped charge utilizes reactive copper double-layered liner,which is composed of an inner copper liner and an outer reactive liner,while the reactive material liner is fabricated by PTFE/Al(Polytetrafluoroethylene/Aluminum)powders through cold-pressing and sintering.Static explosion experiments show that,compared with the shaped charge which utilizes copper liner,the penetration cavity diameter and spalling area of concrete by the novel shaped charge were enlarged to 2 times and 4 times,respectively.Meanwhile,the following reactive material had blast effect and produced significant overpressure inside the concrete closed space.Theoretical analysis indicates concrete strength and detonation pressure of reactive material both affect the penetration cavity diameter.To the blast behavior of reactive material inside the concrete space,developing TNT equivalence model and simulated on AUTODYN-3 D for analysis.Simulation results reproduced propagation process of the shock wave in concrete space,and revealed multi-peaks phenomenon of overpressure-time curves.Furthermore,the empirical relationship between the peak overpressure and relative distance for the shock wave of reactive material was proposed.

文摘Debris flow drainage canal is one of the most widely used engineering measures to prevent and manage debris flow hazards.The shape and the sizes of the cross-section are important parameters when design debris flow drainage canal.Therefore,how to design the appropriate shape and sizes of the cross-section so that the drainage canal can have the optimal drainage capacity is very important and few researched at home and abroad.This study was conducted to analyze the hydraulic condition of a Trapezoid-V shaped drainage canal and optimize its cross-section.By assuming characteristic sizes of the cross-section,the paper deduced the configuration parameter of the cross-section of a Trapezoid-V shaped debris flow drainage canal.By theory analysis,it indicates that the optimal configuration parameter is only related to the side slope coefficient and the bottom transverse slope coefficient.For this study,the Heishui Gully,a first-order tributary of the lower Jinsha River,was used as an example to design the optimal cross-section of the drainage canal of debris flow.

文摘A 1/3-scale reinfored concrete(RC) frame of unequal storey height with specially shaped columns was tested under low frequency cyclic loading.The damage characteristic,bearing capacity,deformation capacity and ductility were analyzed.The restoring force model of the frame was obtained based on the study of the hysteresis curve measured in experiment,and the stiffness degeneration characteristics of every storey of the frame were analyzed.Finally the accumulated damage was analyzed with the damage assessment model.It is shown that the seismic behavior of this frame of unequal storey height with specially shaped columns is generally good,but the bottom of first floor column is a weak part,which should be paid more attention in design,and the restoring force model derived from this experiment can be seen as a valuable guide for design and non-linear finite element analysis for this kind of structure.

文摘Shape memory polymers(SMPs)usually have a one-way shape memory effect.In this paper,an easy-operating method to realize a two-way shape memory effect was demonstrated in a ring-shaped bilayer structure where the two layers are SMPs with different thermal transition temperatures.By designing specific thermomechanical processes,the mismatched deformation between the two layers leads to a morphology change of ring-shaped bilayer structures from a smooth ring to a gear-like buckling shape under cooling and a reversible recovery to the smooth shape under heating.Such a morphology change is ascribed to occurrence and recovery of thermoelastic buckling.This method was validated by finite element simulation.We experimentally investigated the influence of pre-strain on buckling,and it was found that both the buckling occurrence and recovery temperature vary with pre-strain.Furthermore,considering a ring-shaped SMP-SMP bilayer structure,finite element analysis was conducted to study the influence of film thickness and modulus ratio of two layers on buckling behavior.The results showed that the critical buckling wavelength was greatly influenced by film thickness and modulus ratio.W e made a theoretical analysis that accorded well with the numerical results.
文摘In this study, a seismic analysis of semi-sine shaped alluvial hills above a circular underground cavity subjected to propagating oblique SH-waves using the half-plane time domain boundary element method(BEM) was carried out. By dividing the problem into a pitted half-plane and an upper closed domain as an alluvial hill and applying continuity/boundary conditions at the interface, coupled equations were constructed and ultimately, the problem was solved step-by-step in the time domain to obtain the boundary values. After solving some verification examples, a semi-sine shaped alluvial hill located on an underground circular cavity was successfully analyzed to determine the amplification ratio of the hill surface. For sensitivity analysis, the effects of the impedance factor and shape ratio of the hill were also considered. The ground surface responses are illustrated as three-dimensional graphs in the time and frequency domains. The results show that the material properties of the hill and their heterogeneity with the underlying half-space had a significant effect on the surface response.

文摘In this paper, the reaction characteristic and its application in shaped charge warhead of a novel reactive material, which introduced copper(Cu) and plumbum(Pb) into traditional polytetrafluoroethylene/aluminum(PTFE/Al), are studied. The thermal analysis and chemical reaction behavior of the PTFE/Al/Cu/Pb mixture are investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC),Thermo-gravimetry(TG), and Xray Diffraction(XRD) techniques. Then, the shaped charge liners with PTFE/Al/Cu/Pb reactive materials are fabricated, and the X-ray experiments show that they could form reactive jets with excellent performance under the detonation effects of the shaped charge. Based on that, the penetration experiments of shaped charge with PTFE/Al/Cu/Pb reactive liner against steel plates are carried out, and the results demonstrate that the PTFE/Al/Cu/Pb reactive jets could produce a deeper penetration depth compared to the traditional PTFE/Al reactive jets. Meanwhile, the PTFE/Al/Cu/Pb reactive jets also show significant inner-blast effects, leading to dramatically cracking or fragmentation behavior of the penetrated steel plates. This new PTFE/Al/Cu/Pb reactive liner shaped charge presents enhanced penetration behavior for steel targets that incorporates the penetration capability of a high-density and ductility jet, and the chemical energy release of PTFE-matrix reactive materials.
文摘The numerical simulation for the process of shaped charge jet produced with the shell of explosives is performed by means of the ANSYS/LS-DYNA 3D software. The effect of warhead shell on shaped charge jet velocity has been analyzed qualitatively in this paper. The numerical simulation results are creditable and in agreement well with that of the corresponding experiment. The research results show that the jet velocity of explosive with metal shell is higher than that without shell; when the shell thickness increases, jet' s head speed also increases; when the shell thickness increased to certain value, the jet velocity will not change any longer; with the same shell thickness, the bigger material density the higher jet's head velocity.
