Abstract
The criteria for initiation of detonation in an explosive encased in a metal envelope following impact by a projectile are discussed in the paper. Methods for estimating the pressure in the explosive after impact by a high-speed projectile are presented. The methods and criteria were used to investigate the response of explosives encased in steel shells after tungsten projectile impact. Based on the results obtained, the ability of AHEAD ammunition to destroy missiles and artillery shells was assessed.
