Abstract

A model is presented describing the sequence of events leading up to linear shapedcharge (LSC) liner collapse and jet/slug formation. Metallographie techniques were utilized to determine the relative efficiency of various liner configurations, i.e. the volume percentage of metal participating in jet formation. The microstructures of selected LSC fragments and some of the more interesting structural details and their implications are discussed. Timing screens and flash X-ray techniques were employed to provide data concerning the velocity of LSC jet and slug fragments and their relationship to liner configuration and material properties.
