Abstract

The effect of the arc-cone liner configuration parameters on explosively formed projectile (EFP) flight stability is studied experimentally. The effect the liner edge structure on the EFP formation is computed numerically. The results show that an EFP formed by a liner whose thickness is 0.046 times the charge caliber has improved flight stability and can perforate a steel armor 0.5 times the charge caliber thick in the case of large stand-off distances. A good tail skirt EFP can be formed by choosing appropriate parameters: the liner-to-charge diameter ratio in the interval 0.96÷0.98, the liner edge thickness equal to 0.0020÷0.0025 times the charge caliber, and the liner edge chamfer of 45÷50°.
