Abstract
A series of 2-D numerical simulations of the bulging of passive casset tes, penetrated by shaped charge jets, is described. The purpose of th ese simulations was to determine the factors affecting the speed of th e bulging process in order to be able to design more efficient cassett es. Physical and geometrical parameters, of the different cassette con stituents, were varied systematically. These included strengths, elast ic moduli, thicknesses and densities of the materials involved. (C) 19 98 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
