Abstract
A theory of fragmentation of bomb and shell casings of ductile materials proposed by the present author in earlier reports is applied to the break-up of the helically wound coil of steel strip that forms part of the casing of this bomb. For this strip the break-up is one dimensional, and it is possible to formulate the theory in a much more exact form than for a solid case. The theory is restated in a form applicable to this bomb, and it is suggested that experiments with model bombs of this type would yield information of a fundamental nature about fracture of metals.
