Abstract:
This work presents the results of experiments on the compression of a spherical copper shell loaded by the detonation of a plastic explosive layer. A U-70 accelerator is used for radiographic recording of the convergence of the shell to the center, and metallographic analysis of the copper shell preserved after the experiment is performed. The results of multiframe proton radiography of the convergence of the inner boundary of the copper shell to the center are compared with the results of numerical simulations.
