Abstract

Tandem warhead systems consist of a precursor shaped charge and a following kinetic energy projectile containing a high explosively filling. This paper presents numerical simulations to analyze the penetration process of shaped charge to penetrate concrete targets by using AUTODYN software. Shaped charge is consist of the different materials, different standoff, different liner curvature and thickness. Ideal parameters for liner with good aperture and depth are acquired, the simulation results are in agreement with the test.
