Abstract

Abstract

In order to exactly predict the velocity of EFP, its formation process is divided into a loading phase by high explosives and a self-deforming phase. It is assumed that the process ends at the time when the whole liner has melted, and the deformation energy consumed by the liner is equal to its melting energy. Accordingly, a velocity formula of EFP is proposed based on the law of energy conservation. The results are in good agreement with those from an experiment and a numerical simulation, demonstrating the applicability of this formula in engineering computation.
