Abstract

Abstract

The function of an explosively-formed projectile (EFP) is not only penetrating the armor but also destroying the equipment behind the armor by behind-armor debris (BAD). It is necessary to predict the mass of BAD since the mass distribution of BAD is an important measurement to evaluate the level of destruction caused by BAD. A mass model for BAD generated by normal penetration of an EFP into an armor steel plate was improved by considering the variable cross-section characteristic of the EFP, basing on Bernoulli's equation of the flowing fluid and adiabatic shear theory. The accuracy of the model was validated by the experimental data and numerical simulation results. Therefore, the influences of the thickness of the target and the impact velocity of the EFP on the mass of BAD generated by the target and EFP were investigated. The results indicate: (1) compared with the previous model, the improved model can more accurately explain the mass variation of BAD generated by the target and EFP with the thickness of the target and the impact velocity of the EFP; (2) as the impact velocity of the EFP is 1 650 m/s, with the thickness of the target increasing from 30 mm to 70 mm, the effect of the variable cross-section characteristics on the mass of BAD generated by the target and EFP is constantly increasing; (3) as the thickness of the target is 40 mm, with the increase of the initial velocity of the EFP from 1 650 m/s to 1 860 m/s, the effect of the variable cross-section characteristics on the mass of BAD generated by the target and EFP is constantly decreasing.
