Impact Initiation of a Semi-Confined High Explosive Target by Hypervelocity Debris

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Introduction In this study, a fragment-target configuration is used in order to study an impact situation where a cloud of fragment debris strikes a semi-confined high explosive target. A spherical fragment is launched against a two-plate target, as illustrated in Figure 1, where the inner plate (plate II) represents the casing of a high explosive payload, and the outer plate (plate I) represents the fuselage of a high velocity aerial threat.
