## A simple expression is derived to estimate the residual length of a yawed, long-rod penetrator impacting finite thickness targets at both normal and oblique incidence. The unique feature of this model is a determination of the different penetration path through the plate which is not simply a l

This paper presents an analysis of recently reported experimental data on penetration of semi-infinite ceramic and metal targets by long rods at relatively high velocity (up to 4,500 m/s). Data examined were for pure tungsten rods having length-to-diameter ratios of 15 and 20. The rods were impacted

2D numerical simulations were performed in order to further investigate the role of penetrator strength in the interaction of long rods and semi-in"nite targets. These simulations are used to highlight the reasons for several discrepancies between existing data and the well-known 1D model for penetr

The purpose was to investigate the in#uence of impact velocity and con"nement on the resistance of boron carbide targets to the penetration of tungsten long-rod projectiles.

Forty terminal ballistics experiments were performed to measure the penetration of simple confined boron carbide targets by long tungsten rods. Impact velocities ranged from 1.5 to about 5.0km/s. The experiments were performed in the reverse ballistic mode using a two-stage light-gas gun. For tests
