SPLIT-X

Design and analysis of fragmenting warheads

SPLIT-X is an expert system for the design and assessment of fragmenting warheads. Natural or controlled fragmentation of an explosive filled casing can be studied with SPLIT-X. In contrast to complex finite element codes, SPLIT-X is based on analytical procedures and engineering approximations which are calibrated by experimental results. Therefore, the tool requires relatively little computing time and provides the results within a split second.

Applications

SPLIT-X can be used for various applications in defense engineering:

Design and optimization of fragmenting warheads

Arena test layout

Calculation of input data for vulnerability models

Design of structural elements to protect vehicles or buildings

Specifications

SPLIT-X applies several unique algorithms and models:

3D Gurney-Method for the calculation of fragment velocities

Models of multiple and/or asymmetric initiation

Mass and shape calculation of natural fragments

Optimization based on design constraints and performance requirements

Material library (explosives, casing materials, etc., user expandable)
