Shaped charges are used in many civilian and military applications. This study focuses on the effects of liner material and the type of explosive on the development of shaped charge jet. This was carried out by experimentation and numerical finite element-based modelling. Shaped charges were tested on a steel plate during the experimentation and the experimental data were used to validate the developed numerical model of the shaped charge. A hydrocode-based finite element model was able to predict the perforation and jet formation for the shaped charge, as well as the characteristics of the holes formed in the target plate. Several variations of the numerical model with the change of liner material and the filled explosive showed that the higher explosive resulted in higher velocity jet. The jet formation and velocity of jet were compared to determine the better performing combination of the material and explosive for the given shaped charge geometry. The underlying mechanisms were discussed in detail and compared with the previous studies.

Effect of Hardness on the Ballistic Impact Behavior of High-Strength Steels Against 7.62-mm Armor Piercing Projectiles DEMİR, TEYFİK; Ubeyli, Mustafa; Yıldırım, Raif Orhan (2009-03-01) Ballistic performance of engineering materials should be known in selection of the most suitable armor material to protect civilian or military system with the lowest possible weight against various threats. In this study, the ballistic impact characterization of high-strength steels, namely AISI 4340 and DIN 100Cr6, was investigated using 7.62-mm armor piercing (AP) projectiles by considering four hardness levels and five areal densities. The main aim was to examine the effect of hardness and areal density...
Effect of temperature on fatigue properties of Din 35 NiCrMoV 12 5 steel Önem, Orkun Umur; Gürbüz, Rıza; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2003) DIN 35NiCrMoV125 (equivalent to AISI 4340), which is a high strength low alloy steel (HSLA), is mainly used at military applications in the production of gun barrels. The main aim of this study was to determine the low cycle fatigue (LCF) behaviour and the influence of temperature on low cycle fatigue failure properties of that steel. Three different temperatures (room temperature, 2500C and 4000C) were used in the experiments in order to analyze the effect of temperature. For each temperature, five strain ...
Modeling and simulation of shaped charges Gürel, Eser; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009) Shaped charges are explosive devices with a high penetration capability and are used for both civilian and military purposes. In civilian applications shaped charge devices are used in demolition works, oil drilling and mining. In the military applications, shaped charges are used against different kinds of armors, primarily as anti-tank devices. This thesis work involves the modeling and simulation of shaped charge devices, with the focus being on anti-tank warhead design. Both numerical simulation and ana...
Effect of proton irradiation on the performance of fluxgate sensors İÇİN, KÜRŞAT; Can, H.; Akyol, S.; Uslu Kiçeci, P.; Topal, U.; ÖZTÜRK, SEDA; Demirköz, Melahat Bilge; Sözeri, H. (2023-04-25) The fluxgate magnetometers have been used in many space missions due to their stability, low cost, low mass, and good measuring sensitivity and range. Space weather conditions around the Earth and solar system may be dangerous for the sensors of these crucially important devices. Proton irradiation was used to simulate space weather conditions near the Earth's magnetosphere in Van Allen belts. The effect of proton irradiation on the structural, magnetic, and sensor performance of our fluxgate sensors was st...
Effect of proton scavengers on the textural properties and performance of Fe2O3 xerogels for boron containing pyrotechnics Yilmaz, Nil E. Dinçer; Karakaş, Gürkan (2017-01-01) Currently used rockets and missile igniter systems are mostly based on the pyrotechnic blends of fuels and oxidizers. In this study nano-sized boron was used as fuel because of its high heat of combustion, low atomic weight and high energy density. Iron oxide was used as an oxidizer and synthesized by sol-gel method by using various types of proton scavengers. In the experiments Fe(NO3)3·9H2O was used as a precursor and a wide range of proton scavengers (propylene oxide, 1,2 epoxybutane, tetrahydrofuran, te...
