Designing and testing a high-velocity self-forging fragment
Abstract
An explosive system was designed to propel a 215 g mild steel self forging fragment at a velocity of 6 km/s. The design was obtained using the hydrodynamic code PETRA. Flash radiography and penetration results are reported for experiments based on this design.
