ANALYSIS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN SURROGATE FOR A TMRP-6 ANTITANK MINE

摘要

A surrogate for the TMRP-6 anti-tank landmine is analysed numerically with regard to the explosively formed projectile (EFP) morphology. The threat posed by a TMRP6 mine in the field is the impact of the EFP transferring its kinetic energy to the vehicle in addition to the blast wave impulse transferred from the products of the explosive. Flash X ray photography is used to experimentally characterise the shape of the EFP and its velocity. The shape and velocity of the EFP are compared with the results of the numerical analysis.
