✦ Synopsis

A general non-dimensional formula based on the dynamic cavity-expansion model is proposed to predict penetration depth into several mediums subjected to a normal impact of a non-deformable projectile. The proposed formula depends on two dimensionless numbers and shows good agreement with penetration tests on metal, concrete and soil for a range of nose shapes and impact velocities. The validity of the formula requires that the penetration depth is larger than the projectile diameter and the projectile nose length while projectile remains rigid without noticeable deformation and damage.

We describe in this paper a novel kind of geometrical transformations, named polyrigid and polyaffine. These transformations efficiently code for locally rigid or affine deformations with a small number of intuitive parameters. They can describe compactly large rigid or affine movements, unlike most
