Abstract

Shaped-charge jets were discussed in Chapter 16 of [1] (see also Chapter 16 of [2]). They are used primarily in armor penetration; other uses include welding. On October 27, 1989 Carl A. Nelson from Honeywell has presented the shaped-charge phenomenon. This explosive process can be divided into several sub-processes. He concentrated on the free boundary problem which arises as soon as the jet has formed, and on the free boundary problem which arises as the formed jet begins to penetrate the target. Interestingly enough, these two problems are very similar.
