Yihao Shen is a Master’s student at the State Key Laboratory of Precision Blasting, Jianghan University, specializing in shaped charges and energetic materials. His academic work integrates experimental analysis, material design, and numerical modeling to address long-standing challenges in explosive mechanics and cumulative jet performance. With a strong foundation in the structural and material innovations of shaped charge liners, he has authored an SCI review that systematically deciphers advancements in single-cone, composite, and multi-layer configurations, as well as metal, alloy, and composite energetic materials that significantly enhance jet coherence, energy directionality, and penetration capability. His research contributes a theoretical framework for energy directional control and supports the technological transformation of deep mineral extraction and advanced blasting applications. Yihao is actively engaged in confidential research projects and collaborative work with the State Key Laboratory of Precision Blasting, Jianghan University, including screening schemes for reactive lining materials, energetic material characterization using XRD, SEM, and XPS, and numerical simulation efforts with the university’s Intelligent Computing Center. He has one SCI-indexed publication, ten patents under process, and ongoing research activities that further strengthen his expertise in explosive mechanics modeling and lethality assessment. His academic metrics currently include a total of 2 documents reflecting an early yet rapidly developing research trajectory. Yihao’s contributions demonstrate over 30% improvement in penetration performance compared to traditional methods, positioning his work as a foundation for next-generation high-damage sleeve technologies with significant potential for future industrial and scientific applications.
