Abstract
An explosive warhead includes shear liners to enhance rupturing of the warhead's housing following an initiation of a detonation charge in the warhead. The shear liners are positioned directly upon the warhead housing's inside surface. The shear liners are applied as metallic powder granules embedded in structural patterns, and applied in a liquid form which is allowed to cure before the charge is installed in to the warhead. Rupture patterns of the warhead housing upon detonation, approximately mimic the structural patterns on the said shear liners.
