✦ Synopsis

The process of long-rod penetration into thick metallic targets is examined through a series of twodimensional simulations. The aim of the research presented here is to uncover the inherent material similarities in this process. In particular, the search is for non-dimensional parameters which account for the depth of penetration, such as the density ratio, and the relative strengths of penetrator and target. The simulation results are in accord with existing empirical data, shedding more light on the penetration process and emphasizing the di$culties in achieving an overall normalization procedure for this process.

The paper summarizes a series of two-dimensional numerical simulations which were performed to study the effects of material properties on the terminal ballistics of long-rod penetrators. Our focus was on the properties of the rod material, unlike recent works which concentrated on a target's proper
