Abstract:

In order to study the performance of explosives after the impact detonation of different shaped charges on targets in water,three kinds of shaped charge structures,i.e.,explosively formed projectile (EFP),jetting projectile charge (JPC) and shaped charge jet(JET),are selected for underwater penetration and underwater impact detonation tests.The measured velocities of different shaped charge penetrators before entering water,before hitting a target and after penetrating into a target,the penetration effect on the arc target plate and the impact detonation effect on B explosive behind the target are obtained through the tests.The impact detonation mechanism of different shaped charges in water and the variation law of impact detonation coefficient k at different water medium lengths are compared and analyzed.The results show that the impact detonation performances of EFP,JET and JPC after impacting a target in water decrease nonlinearly with the increase in the length of water medium,and the performance of JPC is better than those of JET and EFP.The critical impact detonation coefficient of explosive B is 18.22mm3/s2 after EFP,JET and JPC penetrate the metal target plate with a thickness of 2cm and a length of 0-100cm water medium and a water medium with a length ranging from 0 to 100cm.
