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
A series of 2D numerical simulations was performed in order to follow various features in the penetration mechanics of deforming long rods. In particular, we were interested in the threshold velocity which marks the transition from rigid to deforming rod and the resulting depths of penetration aroun
The secondary penetration of long rods, impacting semi-infinite metallic targets, has been investigated since the early 60's, both experimentally and analytically. Several models have been proposed for the extra penetration which is achieved by these rods at the later stages of the process. However,
The paper describes a set of experiments with copper and tungsten alloy long-rods, which were aimed at finding the sources of non-scaling effects recently discovered in terminal ballistics. Our basic assumption was that geometrical scaling should hold for ductile penetrators (like copper) and that a
