Walters W.P., Zukas J. (Eds.) Fundamentals of shaped charges

Wiley, 1989. — 398 p. — ISBN: 9780471621720Presented here is an introduction to the art and science of developing shaped charges. The authors describe the history of shaped charges and the principles governing their design, and give a variety of example applications. The book includes the discussion of Gurney and Taylor methods, jet formation, the visco-plastic model, jet penetration, fabrication, computational aspects, as well as showing the reader how to design shaped charges for different applications.Introduction to the shaped charge concept
