Shaped charge effect

Munroe, Charles Edward (1849—1938). Leader in the development of expls in the USA. Inventor of the first American smokeless powder, Indurite (qv), and discoverer of the Munroe Effect (See Detonation, Munroe-Neumann Effect (Or Shaped Charge Effect) in Vol 4, D442-R to D454-L). Professor of chemistry at the US Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md, 1874—1886 chemist at the Naval Torpedo Station and Naval War College, Newport, RJ, 1886—1892 professor of chemistry at George Washington University, 1892—1917 and chief expls chemist of the US Bureau of Mines, 1919—1933. Author and co-author of numerous publications on expls Refs 1) H,W. Wiley, 1EC 15, 648-9 (1923)... [Pg.179]

The MCI is created by detonating or igniting a test round(s), or item(s) with all items in the operational configuration in the shield, including the equipment or reasonable simulation thereof, that performs the intended function on the munitions. If the shield is intended to be used for a variety of rounds, the one(s) having the most severe effects for overpressure, fragmentation, thermal emissions and shape charge effects is to be tested.

Munroe-Neumann Effect or Shaped Charge Effect was accidentally discovered by C.E. Munroe of the US, but was not put to practical application until 1910 when C.E. Neumann of Germany proposed using the effect in the manuf of explosive ammunition (Vol 4 of Encycl, pp D442 to D454)... [Pg.145]

WWII. Shaped Charge Effect, discovered in 1888 by C.E. Munro and applied in 1910 to manuf of expl items by E. Neumann, was extensively utilized during the war. The effect is described under Detonation, Munroe-Neumann Effect in Vol 4 of Encycl, pp D442 to D454 WWII. Triethyleneglycol Dinitrate was.prepd in Italy and then in Germany for use in cool double-base propints, G Pulvern, of Gen. U. Gallwitz intended for hot climates like N. Africa.

Accdg to Ref 10, the use of expls to do construction work is not new. About 1888 Amer scientist C-E- Munroe (1849—1938) used expl charges to engrave names and designs iron plates by procedure in use at the present time. As a result of his work and of the work of German scientist E. Neumann, the process known as the "shaped charge effect was developed. It is described in... [Pg.289]
