Abstract:
Hydraulic ram concerns the dynamic loading and catastrophic failure of liquid filled fuel tanks impacted by high speed projectiles. Hydraulic ram is divided into two phases shock phase and cavity phase. The shock phase was studied. Theoretical predictions of shock radius versus time were compared with experimental results. The theory was found to be reasonably accurate for blunt shaped projectiles. Modified author abstract
