Research paper. New Trends in Research of Energetic Materials, Czech Republic, 2011. 1026-1039 pp.Assessment of parameters of high explosive (HE) projectile fragmentation process (mass distribution and number of fragments) in most of the scientific papers is generally best described using Mott (depending on dimensionality and different scaling models) and Held equations. These methods can describe mass distribution of fragments excellent, but precise data about individual parameters from these equations are not available in public literature.
During the previous experimental research of natural fragmentation for several types of HE projectiles, authors are studied the effects of several types of projectile body materials, two types of high explosive and projectile design and determined range of parameters using in Held laws. Obtained data can help designers with smaller experimental experience to make faster prediction of new projectile fragmentation parameters.Contents:
