The core of the 7.62-mm, armor-piercing APM2 projectile is very strong, but also brittle. A combined analytical, numerical and experimental investigation examined the conditions to fracture the core. The analytical model is based on a Timoshenko beam analysis, where the projectile is idealized as a

Damage assessment of two layer targets struck by a taper-nosed projectile is investigated in this paper. The proposed method in predicting failure behavior during the penetration process is based on the energy density damage theory. The targets are modeled as elastic/plastic materials which were use
In this paper, a simple analysis is developed to describe the hypervelocity cratering characteristics of semi-infinite targets by projectile. The comparison between theoretical and experimental results are made for a spherical projectile with the velocity 2-7km/s. It is found that the results given
