- This work investigated the influence of cylinder aspect ratio on fragment properties. Explosively driven fragmentation of materials is a challenging modelling problem, requiring accurate treatment of material behaviour, failure and the formation of multiple cracks. It is also one where there is very limited experimental data in the open literature for model assessment. The experimental study in the paper, carried out at the French German Research Institute of Sant-Louis, provides a data set designed for the validation of numerical models. The test data is used to assess the capability of the numerical mode presented.
