Abstract
The methodology of explosively formed projectile(EFP)
design by way of nonlinear programming has been investigated. A nonlinear
programming model to design an EFP with expected shape has been set up. The
shape of the generator of liner surface is described with a function in the
form of a circular arc added with amending terms. An efficient BFGS variable
metric sequential programming algorithm was implemented into the nonlinear
programming code SQP, which was then coupled with the finite element code
DYNA2D. With the resulting code, namely SQPDYNA, two EFPs were optimized, one
with flared tail and the other without. Both of them met quite well the preset
requirements. Measured EFP velocity and contours agree well with the
optimization results.
