A one‐dimensional theoretical model of shaped charge jet heating is developed. The model includes heating due to the shock wave transferred to the liner by the explosive detonation wave and due to the plastic work performed during liner collapse and jet elongation. Results calculated by a one‐dimensional shaped charge computer code using this model fall within the lower bound of the experimental range.
