The research of penetration of novel penetrator is obviously valuable.

In order to analyze the influence of the detonation of the explosive to the penetration capability of the rod penetrator,the penetration process at different impact angle into plate covered by sandwich explosive are simulated by 3D finite element code(LS-DYNA),which are compared with the corresponding cases without explosive in the middle of two plates.

Different configuration of shaped charge can form different penetrators, such as jet toattack decorous armor, Jetting Projectile Charge (JPC) to deal with decorous armor at furtherranger, or Explosively Formed Projectile (EFP) to invade light armor.

By using LS-DYNA finite element hydrocode,the effects of liner\'s cone angel,wall thickness and wall thickness variation on the penetrator formation of shaped charge conical liners were investigated under direct and inverse direction annular initiations.

In order to study the effect of stern charge configuration on the performances of penetrators,the formation of penetrators is simulated by LS-DYNA software.

In order to study influence of the filling material on the lateral effect of penetrator with enhanced lateral effect(PELE), three dimensional numerical simulation of PELE impacting target was carried out,and the PELE is loaded with distinct filling material.

Penetrator with Enhanced Lateral Effect (PELE) is a kind of new kill element, which has the compositive functions of both KE and HE projectile, without dynamite and fuze.
