“…Chanteret [12] predicted the change of break-up time of jet with jet velocity for the 100 mm conical shaped charge. He fed his model with the following data of a shaped charge: a cone angle of 60°, and a copper liner wall thickness of 2 mm.…”

“…Chanteret [12] determined experimentally the change of jet velocity with jet cumulative length for the 100-mm conical shaped charge. Figure 6 plots the predicted change of jet velocity with jet cumulative length; the corresponding experimental measurements obtained by Chanteret [12] are depicted on the same figure. Good agreement is obtained between the predictions of the present model and experimental measurements of Chanteret except for the region of the rear of jet where the measured jet velocities by Chanteret are higher than those predicted by the model.…”

An analytical model has been developed to describe the jet penetration process into a metallic target. The model is essentially based on the modified Bernoulli's equation that incorporates the strengths of jet and target materials. The compression of jet length during its penetration through the target is considered in the analysis. The main equations predicting the jet length prior to impact and the governing equations describing the penetration process of a jet into a target are derived. These equations are arranged and compiled into a computer program. The input data to the program are easily determined. The model is capable of predicting the time histories of jet penetration velocity, crater radius and depth of jet penetration into a target. In addition, the model predicts the total depth and time of jet penetration into a target. The results of the present model are compared with predicted and experimental results of other investigators; good agreement is obtained. Moreover, an experimental program has been conducted to assess the predictions of the model. Six shaped charges have been prepared and exploded at different distances from a steel target. For each shaped charge, the measured depth of penetration and crater radius at the target surface are compared with the corresponding model predictions; good agreement is obtained for the depth of penetration. However, a further analytical study is needed to improve the prediction of crater radius. Representative samples of the model predictions using the data of some tested shaped charges and the 105 mm shaped charge are presented and discussed.

“…This indicates that penetration of the shaped charge jet is proportional to the jet length and density whereas inversely proportional to the target density. Erosion of jet length during penetration has been calculated empirically by Chanteret [10,11] and is given as…”

Experimental and simulation optimization analysis of the Whipple shields against shaped charge

et al. 2012

Occasionally, the Whipple shields are used for the protection of a space station and a satellite against the meteoroids and orbital debris. In the Whipple shields each layer of the shield depletes part of high speed projectile energy either by breaking the projectile or absorbing its energy. Similarly, this investigation uses the Whipple shields against the shaped charge to protect the light armour such as infantry fighting vehicles with a little modification in their design. The unsteady multiple interactions of shaped charge jet with the Whipple shield package against the steady homogeneous target is scrutinized to optimize the shield thickness. Simulations indicate that the shield thickness of 0.75 mm offers an optimum configuration against the shaped charge. Experiments also support this evidence.
