Abstract:Multi-point initiation explosively formed projectile(EFP) charges with different N (the number of initiation points), DI (the diameter of annular initiation), LC/DC (the length/diameter of charge) were studied by LS-DYNA program. program The influences of multi-point initiation charge configuration parameters, such as N, DI, LC/DC, on the formation parameters of EFP with fins were studied. The results of numerical simulation indicate that there are remarkable effects of N, DI and LC/DC on the formation parameters, including v, LE/DE (the length/diameter), WS/DE (the wingspan/diameter) of EFP with fins. The number of fins is equal to the number of initiation points. When the N is 4, the WS/DE of EFP with fins approaches the maximum. Increasing DI and LC/DC effectively enhances the v and LE/DE of EFP with fins. The formation parameters of EFPs formed by hemispherical liner with uniform or variational wall-thickness were compared. Results indicate that hemispherical liner with variational wall-thickness is a more feasible option. When N=4, DI=40 mm, and LC/DC=0.8 respectively, EFP with more appropriate configuration can be approached.
