  1. 1. Jet fragmentation in shaped charges

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Joakim Ericson; [2022]
    Keywords : Shaped charges; numerical simulation; jet fragmentation; Riktad sprängverkan; numerisk simulering; strål-fragmentering;

    Abstract : This master thesis treats the numerical simulation of shaped charge jets and its fragmentation process. Shaped charges is a method to concentrate the effect of an explosive charge and penetrate deeply into a target due to a the formation of a jet with great penetration capabilities. READ MORE

  3. 2. Asymmetries in shaped charges

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Gustav Boman; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the effects of a select few asymmetries on a jet formingshaped charge. A Shaped charge(SC) is a formed explosive with metal liner thatcollapses under the detonation. The resulting shock­compression results in a jetof metal being shot forward in up 10km/s. READ MORE

  4. 3. Velocity Compensation in Shaped Charges

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Anmol Bhullar; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Shaped charges (SC) have been used as a means of explosives in military andcivilian use for decades. Thus, there is a substantial amount of research behindthis area. However, as this is a sensitive subject much of this research is notpublicly available. READ MORE

  5. 4. Shaped Charge Design : Construction of a Miniaturized Shaped Charge

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Andreas Gustafsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Shaped Charge; Explosively Formed Penetrator; Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics; Electron Beam Welding;

    Abstract : The shaped charges on the market today ranges from about 20 to 200 mm in diameter but there is a need of smaller sizes for example in applications where a small projectile with a high speed is needed or to equip or take out drones with. The objective of this thesis work was to develop a miniaturized shaped charge with dimensions smaller than those available today and preferably with a diameter down to 10 mm. READ MORE

  6. 5. Asymmetries and Their Impact on Explosively Formed Projectiles Performance

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Kristoffer Seidel; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Shaped Charges (SC) are explosives which are set up to concentrate the energy of an explosive to deform a thin metal cover, so called liner into either a jet of particles or a solid projectile, the latter one is refered to an Explosively Formed Projectile or EFP. The purpose of this project is to map out the effect of different asymmetries in different parts of the EFP. READ MORE
