Liners For Shaped Charges
The penetration potential of shaped charges is proportional to the jet length and the square root of the jet density.
The bulk-sound velocities of the liner materials define the maximum possible jet tip velocities. The jet tip velocities and breakup, or particulation, times determine the jet length. For shaped-charge optimizations these parameters have to be considered.
After a brief discussion of these issues, this dissertation outlines the potential of a range of materials for use as possible shaped-charge liners.
Finally, the dissertation describes the different production possibilities for copper liners, identifying the advantages and disadvantages of each. In particular, the flow-turning process is discussed with its potential for spin compensation.
