We investigated the penetration capabilities of segmented penetrators consisting of small aspect ratio segments, (l/8 I L/D 5 1) using axisymmetric numerical simulations for constant mass, diameter, and collapsed length, tungsten alloy, long-rod penetrators impacting semi-infinite thick rolled homog
The purpose of this investigation is to study the effect of alignment on the performance of segmented penetrators. The Eulerian wave propagation code CTH is used for this purpose. A series of calculations using four L/D = 1 tungsten alloy segment trains at varying degrees of misalignment is performe
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
