Abstract
The performance of linear shaped charges depends on several different parameters. The density, the detonation velocity of the explosive, the shape of the detonation wave, the shape and wall thickness of the liner, and the distance of the shaped charge from the target are among the parameters that can be optimized by using computer simulation methods. In this paper, the jet formation process in a linear shaped charge and its action on an obstacle are simulated by using the LS-DYNA software. The results obtained are compared with experimental data.
