Abstract
The results of physicomathematical modeling obtained within the framework of continuum mechanics by numerical solution of the two-dimensional axisymmetric nonstationary problem of the dynamic deformation of a compressed elastoplastic bar of variable section are presented. Dependences of the quantitative characteristics of stretching and breakup of a shaped-charge jet (the coefficients of ultimate and inertial elongation and the number of individual elements formed in breakup) on the jet parameters and the jet material properties are revealed by calculations. The calculated dependences are compared with experimental data for plastically failing jets of copper and niobium, and the character of the dependences is explained from the physical viewpoint.
