Pressure on liner surface of the shaped charge with isosceles trapezoidal cross section

An analytical model for calculating the pressure of detonation product on the liner surface was presented. Calculation results show that when the liner structure is the same, increasing the inscribed circle diameter of the charge cross section can reduce the influence of the charge nonaxisymmetry, when it is greater than the critical value, that is, 1.66x liner diameter, the pressure on liner surface is distributed axisymmetrically. Therefore, the jet of the shaped charge with isosceles trapezoidal cross section can be prevented from having an offset velocity by the above-mentioned method. This finding is verified through numerical simulation.
