| Abstract: | A high-resolution, multi-frame, image-converter camera developed for high speed photography is applied to study the dynamic behavior of shear-formed shaped-charge liners. Grid lines applied to the inner liner surface allow the precise quantification of liner collapse, early jet formation, and jet development for comparison with two-dimensional hydrocode simulations. The technique affords the first direct measurement of the angular velocity of jets formed from shear-formed shaped-charge liners. |
