In guided munitions, the shaped charge jet (SCJ) warhead is located behind the simulation compartment (including the control cabin, the steering gear cabin, and the guidance cabin). Therefore, the order of penetration of the SCJ is the simulation cabin and the target. To study the penetration performance of the SCJ to the target plate, the numerical simulation method is used to study the penetration performance of the designed warhead for the steel target at different standoffs, and the depth of penetration (DOP) at the best standoff is obtained, that is, the DOP of the steel target is about 128 mm. Additionally, the penetration performance of the SCJ warhead to target is studied by numerical simulation and experimental verification. Numerical simulation and experimental results show that the DOP of the SCJ warhead to the steel target is 50 mm without the simulation cabin, and about 30 mm with the simulation cabin. The results show that the penetration performance of SCJ is greatly weakened under the condition of non-optimal standoff, but the rear shaped charge warhead still has a strong penetration performance after completing the penetration of the simulated cabin.

According to the calculations, the penetration effect of shaped charges can be significantly increased (by 40–50 % in the case of a high-strength steel target) if due increasing the accuracy of their manufacture the lower speed threshold is reduced at which the penetration of the tail sections of the shaped-charge jet into the target is stopped. For experimental confirmation of these data, it is proposed to study in detail the penetrability of the tail sections of shaped-charge jets using cut-off rods made of high-density material located at a short distance from the shaped charge (less than its diameter) and designed to eliminate the faster part of the jet. Based on numerical simulation in the framework of a two-dimensional axisymmetric problem of continuum mechanics, possible parameters of the cut-off rods for generating solitary "tails" of shaped-charge jets with different velocities of the leading element are predicted.

The fatigue life of turbine housing is an important index to measure the reliability of a radial turbocharger. The increase in turbine inlet temperatures in the last few years has resulted in a decrease in the fatigue life of turbine housing. A simulation method and experimental verification are required to predict the life of a turbine housing in the early design and development process precisely. The temperature field distribution of the turbine housing is calculated using the steady-state bidirectional coupled conjugate heat transfer method. Next, the temperature field results are considered as the boundary for calculating the turbine housing temperature and thermomechanical strain, and then, the thermomechanical strain of the turbine housing is determined. Infrared and digital image correlations are used to measure the turbine housing surface temperature and total thermomechanical strain. Compared to the numerical solution, the maximum temperature RMS (Root Mean Square) error of the monitoring point in the monitoring area is only 3.5%; the maximum strain RMS error reached 11%. Experimental results of temperature field test and strain measurement test show that the testing temperature and total strain results are approximately equal to the solution of the numerical simulation. Based on the comparison between the numerical calculation and experimental results, the numerical simulation and test results were found to be in good agreement. The experimental and simulation results of this method can be used as the temperature and strain (stress) boundaries for subsequent thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) simulation analysis of the turbine housing.

Shocking temperature rise of the shaped charge with porous liner before collapse was calculated based on the Herrman equation of state. Shaped charges with 36mm charge diameter were used to fire at the 603 armor steel target, the penetration-standoff curves(P-S) of the shaped charge liner with 88.6% and 90.3%T.D were measured and compared. It is shown that proper porosity is helpful to lengthen the jet break up time and penetration depth,which is of significance for the application of porous liner.

In order to study the aftereffect of the target plate penetrated by shaped charge jet , with the help of nonlinear dynamics solver AUTODYN, the SPH algorithm was adopted to simulate the whole process of jet penetrating the armor plate with different thickness under the condition of vertical. Results show that while the jet head perforating the plate, the behind armor debris (DAB) cloud will be formed, and the axis of symmetry of the "ellipsoid" is the jet direction. However, with the increase of target plate thickness, the behind armor debris number reduced, largest fragment emission angle also reduced.

To study the jet penetration capability of shaped charge warhead of guided ammunition, a variable cone angle-shaped charge liner was designed. LS-DYNA software is used to simulate the penetration capability of shaped charge warhead with three different metal materials (copper, steel, and aluminum). Numerical simulation results show that the velocity of the shaped charge jet formed by the three kinds of materials is v aluminum > v copper > v steel , and the residual velocity after penetration is V steel > V aluminum > V copper , the time when the jet starts to break is tcopper > tsteel > taluminum, and the penetration completion time is Tcopper < Taluminum < Tsteel; therefore, according to the numerical simulation results, copper was selected as the liner material, and the principle prototype is made for the experiment. The results of numerical simulation and experiment show that the shaped charge warhead with copper shaped charge liner has good penetration ability and after-effect damage ability to steel target after penetrating the guidance section, steering gear section, and control section.
