Recent experimental measurements show that eroding long-rod penetration velocity is a linear function of impact velocity over a very wide range of impact velocities and for an interesting range of rod-target material combinations. These experiments all show that U ¼ a+bV, where U and V are the penet

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

This study investigates the question of whether the penetration performance of a segmented rod penetrator with segment-L/D ~< 1 can exceed that of a uniform density continuous rod of equal mass, length (including spaces), diameter and velocity ("comparison rod"). The answer, based on experimental, c
