Abstract:
This patent relates to lined shaped explosive devices, in particular it relates to linear Shaped Charges (SC), more particularly it relates to a Fluted or Scalloped Linear Shaped Charge. The fluted linear SC, unlike a standard linear SC produces hydrodynamic penetration, higher jet velocities, higher mass jets and deeper penetration. The fluted linear device disclosed herein produces greater compression and convergence of the liner material because of the partial radial collapse of the concave flutes. Further, the fluted linear SC is equipped with a simultaneous initiation of the full length of the explosive driving the liner, providing smooth detonation wave front along the full length of the fluted linear liner.

Claim (Index 1):
A fluted linear shaped charge device, the fluted linear shaped charge device comprising:\n a containment body, wherein\n the containment body includes:\n a closed end; \n one or more initiation ports, wherein the one or more initiation ports each include an aperture through the closed end; \n one or more curved surfaces adjacent the closed end; and \n an open end opposite the closed end; \n \n the closed end and the one or more curved surfaces create an enclosure; \n one or more initiators, wherein each initiator passes through one of the one or more initiation ports from the exterior of the enclosure to the interior of the enclosure; a simultaneous initiation plate on the exterior of the enclosure, the simultaneous initiation plate configured to ensure that each initiator detonates simultaneously; a fluted liner, wherein the fluted liner includes:\n one or more flutes, wherein:\n a portion of the one or more flutes:\n match the curvature of the one or more curved surfaces in the containment body at the open end; and \n are in contact with the containment body at the open end; and \n \n \n a high explosive billet, wherein the high explosive billet:\n is in contact with a portion of the initiator; and \n is placed between the closed end of the containment body and the fluted liner.
