Based on the application of tandem weapon used to destroy concrete target this paper presents the results of simulation and experiment that investigate the penetration performance of shaped charge to runway. Jet formation and penetrating into multi-layer target was calculated by hydro code LS-DYNA3D. Jet tip velocity and jet length, also the penetration performance are studied. The damage performance of shaped charge is validated by experiment. The analysis demonstrates the shaped charge can create a big borehole for subsequent projectile to follow in.

Tip Velocity

<p>In this paper, the effect of liner material of the shaped charge on jet formation and its penetration capability is investigated by experimental and numerical methods. Liner materials investigated in this paper are copper, steel, and aluminium, respectively. Pulse X-ray photographic technology to shoot the formation of jet is employed to obtain the tip velocity and the diameter of jet. A two-dimensional multi-material code is designed to simulate the entire process from jet formation to penetrating a target. A markers on cell lines method is utilised to treat the multi-material interface. The results show that aluminium jet has the highest velocity with the poorest penetration capability. Copper jet has the strongest penetration capability with a velocity higher than that of steel jet, but lower than that of aluminium jet. The simulated results agree with the experimental results very well. It also indicates that the code developed can not only address large distortion problems but also track the variation of multi-material interfaces. It is favourable to simulate the explosive loading on thin-wall structure such as shaped charge. It is proved that authors’ method is feasible and reliable for optimising the structure of shaped charge jet to dramatically improve its tip velocity and penetration capability, and provides an important theoretic basis for designing high explosive anti-tank warhead.</p><p><strong>Defence Science Journal, Vol. 65, No. 4, July 2015, pp. 279-286, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dsj.65.8648</strong></p>

This paper investigates the penetration performance of shaped charge against multi-layer target. A titanium alloy liner of shaped charge is proposed in order to obtain large perforated hole. Jet formation and penetrating into multi-layer target was calculated by hydro code AUTODYN. For different liner material include titanium alloy, mild steel and Cu, the explosion energy conversion, jet tip velocity and jet length, also the penetration performance are studied. It is found that the kinetic energy of jet is larger and the shape of jet is podgier when the liner material is titanium alloy, the perforated hole diameter on multi-layer improved 20% compare with the mild steel and Cu liner, the numerical simulation is good agreement to experimental results.
