Ebook: Comparing alternate approaches in the scaling of naturally fragmenting munitions

Interlaken, Switzerland: 19th International Symposium of Ballistics, 7–11 May 2001, - 8 p.In a seminal study, Mott developed relations for calculating the fragmentation characteristics of naturally fragmenting cylinders. Here, the issue of scaling is further explored through application of the later theoretical efforts of Mott, along with other more recent theoretical studies. Scaling predictions are compared with recent fragmenting cylinder data.
