Abstract
This thesis focuses on shaped charge simulations using a hydro-code called ALE3D.
It gives background on shaped charge research and motivation for the project itself
along with information on a shaped charge experiment that took place at the University
of Illinois Urbana Champaign. A baseline simulation is created to mock the experiment
and compare results. Next, a series of simulations are conducted varying parameters
such as HE, liner, and target material and analyzing output data. Then a second
proposed shaped charge experiment with different geometry and materials is simulated.
Finally a newer topic of asymmetrical defective shaped charges is explored by means of
simulations. It also advances on shock states for a hyper-elastic solid using the Blatz-Ko
equilibrium relations and general conservation laws. Basic Rankine-Hugoniot relations
for longitudinal isotropic motion are determined. To further this topic, a study of
anisotropic materials was conducted using ALE3D.
