Comparative Experimental Study on the Performance of Three Types of Liner Shaped Charge Warheads
摘要
To improve the fracture capacity of shaped charge warheads of underwater weapons (such as torpedoes) against double-layered submarine hull structures, three types of shaped charge warheads, including single hemispherical liner, conical-hemispherical combined liner, and double- hemispherical combined liner, are designed for penetrating double-layered water target plates. Eight fracture tests were conducted on a 1:3 scale model to investigate the fracture of different liner warheads to underwater targets. Comparing the fracture morphology of the target plates, one of the circular-hemispherical combined and the double-hemispherical combined liner schemes was selected as the full-sized warhead prototype, and then two underwater full-sized warhead experimental tests were carried out. The experimental results show that the two types of full-sized combined liners can completely penetrate the equivalent target plate of a double-hull submarine structure consisting of a 10 mm nonpressure-resistant shell, a 1000 mm intermediate water layer, and a 40 mm pressure- resistant shell target plate. The penetration depth for after-effect target plates was greater than 1300 mm. Under the same conditions, the total penetration depth of the conical-hemispherical combined liner was about 1.6 times that of the double-hemispherical combined liner, indicating its optimal penetration. The results can provide an idea and experimental verification for designing underwater weapon warheads and ship protection.
