โœฆ Synopsis

The penetration resistance of alumina was found to decrease with velocity for armor-piercing bullets.

However, it was relatively independent of velocity for rods and fragment-siaulating projectiles.

These results are explained in terms of compressive yielding caused by high velocity pointed projectiles.

We report a direct observation of the "streamline" reversal of eroded rod material proposed by Allen and Rogers in 196 1 [ 11. Allen and Rogers suggested that the "turning" of highvelocity long-rod penetrator material at the target interface could be viewed as a reversal of the direction of a "strea

It has been known for several years that glass is a relatively effective armor against shaped charge jets [ 11 even though its performance against conventional long-rod projectiles is mediocre. Some of the authors have earlier postulated that this effect is due at least in part to an increase of the
