| Abstract: | A 30 mm caliber artillery platform is used to fire a projectile equipped with a PTFE/Al reactive material core, and the unprotected fuel tank with a fixed distance from the gun target and the 10, 20, 30 mm armor steel target rear protection tank with different thicknesses are fired.The test results show that the core of the reactive material cannot be effectively activated by penetrating the 0.8 mm thick empty fuel tank and the full fuel tank without steel target protection; After the armored steel target is installed in front of the fuel tank, the reactive material in the projectile body can be activated, and with the increase of the thickness of the armored steel target, the more fully the reactive material is activated, but the axial residual velocity behind the projectile target also decreases; When the thickness of the protective armor is about 20 mm, the damage effect and ignition effect of the reactive material on the fuel tank are the best.In this study, the effect of reactive material projectiles penetrating the fuel tank was analyzed, and the damage mechanism of the reactive material projectiles to the fuel tank targets was revealed, which has certain reference value for the study of reactive materials and the structural design of small caliber reactive Penetrating and exploding projectiles. |
