Misznay-Schardin effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Misznay-Schardin effect refers to the characteristics of the detonation of a broad sheet of explosive. The United States' Claymore mine relies on the Misznay-Schardin effect. This effect was studied and experimented with by explosive experts Misznay, a Hungarian, and Dr. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Misznay-Schardin_effect   (163 words)

Shaped charge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A shaped charge is an explosive charge shaped to focus the effect of the released energy. This is also called the Munroe effect, discovered in 1888. Various types are used to cut and form metal, initiate nuclear weapons, and penetrate armour. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Shaped_charge   (821 words)

Claymore - Wikipedia It was never perfected although the discovery of the Misznay-Schardin effect led to the current device. The design was originally conceived by the Germans during WW2 as an anti-tank mine firing a steel slab. Following the massed Chinese attacks during the Korean War, the US Army developed the mine into a anti-personnel device that would fire hundreds of small ball-bearings in one go. nostalgia.wikipedia.org /wiki/Claymore   (295 words)

Expeditionary Warfare Operations, Technology Division, S&T Thrust Areas, MCM, Land Mines Mechanical tripwire fuzes and electric cable are inherently resistant to the effects of overpressure, and are therefore normally unaffected by explosive mine countermeasures, unless the wire is cut by a line charge. A mechanical tripwire fuze is inherently resistant to the effects of overpressure, and is normally unaffected by explosive mine countermeasures, unless the wire is cut by a line charge. A mechanical tripwire fuze or electric cable is inherently resistant to the effects of overpressure, and pressure fuzes tend to use prongs rather than pressure plates. www.onr.navy.mil /sci_tech/special/353_exped/landmines.asp   (1839 words)

Spall In antitank warfare, spalling is an intended effect of the high explosive squash head (HESH) anti-tank shells and of many other munitions which may not be powerful enough to pierce the armor of a target. The relatively soft warhead flattens against the armor plating on tanks and other armored fighting vehicles and explodes, creating a shock wave that travels through the armor and breaks the softer metal on the inside. This property, along with these elements' inherent toxicity and (often to a lesser extent) radioactivity, make them very dangerous to handle in metallic form. www.cooldictionary.com /words/Spall.wikipedia   (377 words)

Electrically activated, metal-fueled explosive device - Patent 5859383 The body may be tapered to create a localized high-pressure effect, called tamping, or it may be uniform, to uniformly increase the detonation pressure, or tapered to regulate the velocities of the liner and the confinement. This type of explosive charge was the basis for the effect of the bazooka against metallic armor and for the deep penetration of shaped demolition charges when fired against reinforced concrete. The original von Baader (1792) paper, however, primarily discussed bore hole drilling and loading, confinement effects on propellants, the positioning of a small air cavity between the explosive powder and the tamping (at best, a standoff distance effect), and rock fragmentation. www.freepatentsonline.com /5859383.html   (8640 words)

Study Faults Army Vehicle-(stryker is not a tank appears-reporters wisdom) The devastating effect of the hellbore is the natural outcome of shooting at a target with tiny pieces of burning star traveling at near-light velocities. Damage, measured at several megatons/second, is caused both by fusion effects and by the release of considerable kinetic energy at impact. Even the South African Casspir transport vehicle, probably the most mine-resistant vehicle in service, is certified to protect its occupants against the effects of a triple-stacked TM-57 mine blast (equivalent to 21kg of TNT) under any wheel, or a double mine (14kg of TNT) anywhere under the hull. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/1374435/posts   (4283 words)

The TMD is the same general configuration used for the CBU - 87/B Combined Effects Munition. The bomblet case is made of scored steel designed to break into approximately 300 preformed ingrain fragments for defeating light armor and personnel. web.deu.edu.tr /atiksu/f16/f16weap3.html   (2895 words)

Expeditionary Warfare Operations, Technology Division, S&T Thrust Areas, MCM, Definitions Shaped Charge.  (Jane's Mines and Mine Clearance 2002-2003) A warhead in which the explosive is specially shaped to achieve a directional effect.  Examples include HEAT (Munroe effect) and Misznay Schardin warheads.  See separate entries.  FAE generally has a substantially greater effect than the equivalent weight of conventional explosive, mainly because the oxygen needed for combustion is drawn from the atmosphere and not carried within the explosive.  The relatively long duration of the FAE pressure pulse has led to its use in mine clearance charges. Detonation.  (Jane's Mines and Mine Clearance 2002-2003) The powerful explosive effect caused by the propagation of a high-speed shockwave through a high explosive compound or mixture.  During the process of detonation, the high explosive is largely decomposed into hot, rapidly expanding gas. www.onr.navy.mil /sci_tech/special/353_exped/definition.asp   (3921 words)

‘Something’ felled an M1A1 Abrams tank in Iraq — but what? Monroe effect is a shape charge and Misznay-Schardin effect is the platter charge BTW. Much more likely: a Miznay-Shardin effect, self forging copper shaped charge liner, essentially a white-hot copper teardrop that passes through steel and DU armor like an icepick through a wicher chair. It appears the turret blow-off panels were indeed blown free, and that venting of the blast may be what saved the lives of the two crewmen who survived. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/1014037/posts   (2652 words)

Truck's armor proves it can take a punch It's a chemical energy effect developing a high-energy plasma jet, the Monroe effect most generrally used in hollow charge anti armor warheads and demolition charges, the self-forging Misznay-Schardin effect being used in many top-attack weapons such as the US TOW. And it's likely to be real unpleasant for the crew in a Stryker when one of those top-attack missiles is usaed against them, the next logical step when the attackers find out the Stryker's *bedsprings* defeat their PG-7 rounds. On top of that there is a metal slug which follows the gas at high speed, moving through the hole the gas jet cut. www.freerepublic.com /focus/fr/1081866/posts   (4987 words)
