Abstract:

To improve the explosive’s energy utilization rate of the shaped charge jet, a principle structure in which electromagnetic energy and explosive are combined to load the liner is proposed considering the principles of the liner loaded by electromagnetic force and magnetic flux compression generator. Combined loading is divided into two stages: in the first stage, the capacitor discharge and the initial magnetic flux is formed in the magnetic flux compression generator; in the second stage, Explosive 1 detonates, which compresses the magnetic field and increases the current, and at the same time, the detonation wave propagates to the liner to detonate Explosive 2. The electromagnetic force and detonation pressure jointly crush the liner. Combined with the explosive detonation theory, traditional PER theory of jet formaton and electromagnetic loading characteristics, a theoretical model of jet formation of a liner under combined electromagnetic and explosive loading is established. Then, the jet formation of ϕ56mm shaped charge under the combined loading structure is calculated by the theoretical model, and the influence of the combined loading sequence on jet forming is analyzed by theoretical calculation. The computational results show that the combined electromagnetic and explosive loading can increase the velocity and kinetic energy of the shaped jet, improve the explosive utilization rate of the jet, and optimize the combined loading sequence, which will further improve the jet velocity and kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of the jet under combined loading is 34.5% higher than that of the traditional shaped charge, and the energy utilization rate of explosive is increased by 36%.
