The Influence of Standoff distance on the Shaped Charge Penetration

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to study the influence of the standoff distance on the target penetration. after the initiation of the shaped charge explosive, the liner collapse to form the penetrator jet. The standoff distance will have a great rale on the jet breakup. In this study a particular shaped charge was considered to calculate the value of penetration for different values of standoff distances. The penetration value calculation was achieved using density law. The results show the major increase in penetration value when the standoff distance is increased. But, due to jet breakup phenomena, the penetration value does not show any change even if the standoff distance still increasing
