Some Metallurgical Aspects of the Dynamic Expansion of Shells

  • Chapter
Shock Waves and High-Strain-Rate Phenomena in Metals

Abstract

Observations have been performed on fragments recovered after the dynamic expansion and rupture of relatively thin metallic shells under the action of explosives. Two main types of rupture have been observed: a very ductile one, sometimes by chisel-point (e.g. in copper or aluminum alloys) and a brittle one associated with adiabatic shear bands (in uranium and titanium alloys). For these two types of rupture we have reviewed the different theories proposed to take into account the experimental results concerning the rupture elongation.
