The experimental and theoretical study on the spatial‐temporal distribution of electromagnetic radiation from JO‐8 explosions.

Abstract

AbstractThe detonating fuse in the multistage warhead will be subjected to strong electromagnetic interference, derived from electromagnetic radiation generated by explosion of the shaped charge warhead, which may cause premature detonation or misfire. In order to explore the possible electromagnetic environment surrounded the detonating fuse, the spatial‐temporal distribution of electromagnetic radiation after the explosion of JO‐8 explosive was investigated in this paper. The electromagnetic radiation signal was collected and its frequency coverage was analyzed in the far‐field area by the field blast test. Moreover, based on electromagnetic theory, a theoretical model of electromagnetic radiation generated by the explosion of JO‐8 explosive was established, and the spatial‐temporal distribution of the electric field intensity was illustrated in detail for several typical positions after the explosion. The better agreement between experimental and theoretical results indicates that the proposed theoretical model and computational method are reasonable. On this basis, the distributions of electric field intensity for different positions and various explosive weights were predicted respectively by using distance and explosive weight as variables. This study is expected to provide a reference for the research on the electromagnetic radiation for explosive explosion and anti‐explosive electromagnetic interference.
