โœฆ Synopsis

Recently published data on the penetration of long tungsten rods into confined aluminum nitride targets are further analyzed. It is concluded that the difference between the primary, steady-state penetration and the total penetration is too large to be accounted for by theories of 'after-flow' and is, instead, due to secondary penetration of the eroded penetrator material after the primary penetrator-target interaction.

The paper describes a set of experiments with copper and tungsten alloy long-rods, which were aimed at finding the sources of non-scaling effects recently discovered in terminal ballistics. Our basic assumption was that geometrical scaling should hold for ductile penetrators (like copper) and that a

The threat of fragmenting munitions from MANPADS to civilian and military aircraft has, in recent years, become an ever increasing worry. One of the ways to enhance the protection of CFRP-based composites is to add lightweight materials that can provide increased ballistic protection. In this study,
