Abstract
The general features of the development of cumulative phenomena in sys tems with diverging shock waves are examined. It is proposed that the latter can be converted into converging shocks for the purpose of prod ucing cumulative effects if special shaping elements are included in t he structure of the explosive device. Experimental confirmation of thi s proposition is presented. Symmetry is shown to play an important rol e in the development of cumulative effects.
