Water jets were generated by explosive impact and caused to impinge on Plasticine targets at different angles. The velocity of such jets was found to decay behind the jet tip in a manner similar to that frequently observed in shaped charge jets. A simplified theoretical treatment based on a theory of quasi-static expansion of cylindrical cavities is presented. Jet lengthening is considered when the shape of the resulting crater is predicted.
Despite the simplifying assumptions made, the predictions of the theory are found to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. 相似文献
A numerical solution based on a finite difference approximation was developed to describe the response of an equivalent lumped parameter model for each of the above structures. This method, although restricted to two-dimensional structures, can be applied to a variety of structural elements.
High-speed photographs were taken for each of the loading events and the experimental data obtained were compared with the theoretical plastic response predicted by the numerical method. 相似文献
