Abstract. The purpose of this study is to develop a new
method to estimate the natural fragmentation of axis symmetrical warheads.
The method is able to predict the projection of fragments
at various projection angles, including the fragmentation velocities, types and
sizes. It is fairly close to Mott’s fragmentation predictions for
cylinders, and to trial data for 105-mm and 81-mm shells.
The model captures essential characteristics of natural fragmentation.
