Title: Twinning, texture and constitutive relations for explosively formed jets

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5526487

We have used crystallographic-texture calculations to simulate the evolution of preferred grain orientations, and the corresponding changes in anisotropic plasticity, during explosively-driven liner collapse in metallic shaped-charge jets. For hcp metals, twinning tends to be an important deformation mechanism, and twinning is known to be strongly influenced by shocks. We consider cases of enhanced and inhibited twinning for titanium and titanium-alloys; the consequences of these treatments for the evolution of plasticity in early jet formation are discussed. 10 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
