- Abstract
This theoretical study analyzes the possibility to use the classical Mott's hypothesis to model the natural fragmentation of cylindrical structures with two or more metal cylinders arranged coaxially. A critical analysis on the validity of the used hypothesis was conducted based on empirical relations and numerical simulations. The established algorithm allows the determination of a fragment mass scale parameter for each individual cylinder, which is why the cumulative distribution of fragments for the entire structure may be calculated. The results obtained for the structures with two and three cylinders, with equal masses or equal wall thicknesses, can be approximated using a modified Mott's distribution formula in which the number of cylinders is used as an additional parameter.
