Analysis of the motion of a barrel-tamped explosively propelled plate
A method for predicting the terminal velocity and rotation rate of a barrel-tamped explosively propelled plate has been developed. The technique utilizes the Gurney method of calculating an explosive mass discount factor to give a very simple set of equations for predicting the performance of a barrel-tamped explosive charge. Calculations are compared with results from numerous experiments. Velocities are calculated within ±5% in all cases and rotation rates to within about 10% of measured values.
