โฆ Synopsis
The analytical models of crater formation in a semi-infinite target under hypervelocity impact have been analyzed. It has been shown by numerical calculations that to approximately calculate the crater size for a narrow range of impact velocities, the model of an ideal plastic body can be used. A new analytical model of crater formation in a plastic target, which describes the experimental data in a wide range of impact conditions, is suggested. The crater formes are analyzed.

We discuss the depth of cavities and craters caused by hypervelocity impacts as a function of impact parameters such as impact velocity, projectile and target densities, and projectile diameter, in two extreme cases: the penetration of intact projectiles at low impact pressure and the hemispherical
