Efficiency of antipersonnel fragmentation-type mine obstacles

Abstract

The paper presents the general mathematical model of the efficiency of explosives (especially types for nuclear weapons and projectiles with fragmentation and hollow charge effects). The general mathematical model of the efficiency of fragmentation-type mine obstacles (consisting of one antipersonnel fragmentation-type mine, then consisting of one row of antipersonnel fragmentation-type mines and finally of a mine field with two or more rows of antipersonnel fragmentation-type mines) is also derived. The calculated results for three characteristic antipersonnel fragmentation-type mines are compared and presented in a tabular way.
