A soft or deformable missile changes shape as it penetrates a ductile metal target. The deformation increases the area of the contact surface and thus decreases the areal density of the missile. This paper investigates the eect of relative deformability of missile and plate on the ballistic limit of
A direct method of constructing pointed contours which are close to optimum with respect to wave drag is developed for axisymmetric nose shapes using Euler's equations. A two-parameter power function is a good approximation of the contours constructed using this method. Calculations, carried out usi
