Abstract: The numerical simulation for forming projectile of depleted uranium alloy with the SPH (Smooth Particle Hydrodynamic) algorithm was presented. In the computations the artificial pressures of detonation were used, i.e., the spatial distribution and time distribution were given artificially. To describe the deformed behaviors of the depleted uranium alloy under high pressure and high strain rate, the Johnson-Cook model of materials was introduced. From the numerical simulation the formed projectile velocity, projectile geometry and the minimum of the height of detonation are obtained.
