Modeling and Experimental Investigation of Propulsion Device of the Following KE Penetrator of Tandem Warheads

A propulsion device of following kinetic energy （KE） penetrator of tandem warheads due to shear ring mode is designed. An interior ballistics model is set up with the hypothesis of instantaneous shearing action. The influence of different factors on the interior ballistic characteristics of propulsion device is discussed. The relations between the initial velocity of the following KE penetrator and chamber pressure with time and travel are obtained. The theoretical model is verified through experimental results and can be used as a reference for tandem warheads design.

混凝土靶体预开孔对弹丸侵彻性能的影响

根据串联战斗部对混凝土目标的毁伤模式,将其前、后级的作用过程进行分解,结合前级对目标的预破坏,运用数值模拟分析了混凝土靶体预开孔对弹丸侵彻性能的影响,并通过实验进行了部分验证。结果表明:相同靶体开孔深度一定条件下,随着开孔数量的增加,弹丸的侵深逐渐增加,但当开孔数量增大到一定程度时,其对弹丸侵深的提高并不是很明显;当弹丸侵深未超过开孔深度时,随开孔数量增加,弹丸侵彻过载明显下降,而当弹丸侵深超过开孔深度后,开孔数量对弹丸侵彻过载的影响则不大。相同靶体开孔数量一定条件下,随着开孔深度的增加,弹丸的侵深逐渐增加;当弹丸侵深未超过开孔深度时,弹丸的侵彻过载出现明显的下降段,且开孔越深,下降段越长;而当弹丸侵深超过开孔深度后,开孔深度对弹丸侵彻过载的影响则不大。研究结果可为串联战斗部的前、后级优化设计提供参考。
