We present results of a large number of 2D numerical simulations in which we investigated various aspects in the deep penetration of rigid short projectiles into semi-infinite targets, as well as their perforation through thin metallic plates. In particular, we analyze the effect of the entrance pha

โฆ Synopsis
Perforation of a thick plate by rigid projectiles with various geometrical characteristics is studied in the present paper. The rigid projectile is subjected to the resistant force from the surrounding medium, which is formulated by the dynamic cavity expansion theory. Two perforation mechanisms, i.e., the hole enlargement for a sharp projectile nose and the plugging formation for a blunt projectile nose, are considered in the proposed analytical model. Simple and explicit formulae are obtained to predict the ballistic limit and residual velocity for the perforation of thick metallic plates, which agree with available experimental results with satisfactory accuracy.

Simulations have been performed for L=D 10 projectiles against one-and twoplate target configurations. The plate thickness-to-rod diameter ratio t=D varied slightly, as d
The process of ductile plate perforation by sharp-nosed rigid projectiles is further examined in this work through 2D numerical simulations. We highlight various features concerning the effective resisting stress (r r ) which a finite thickness plate, with a flow stress of Y t , exerts on the projec
## AELSTRA~~: This paper is concerned with the analysis of the problem of dynamic perforation of visco-plastic plates by a cylindrical projectile, leading to a failure of the plate by a plug formation. Assuming the behavior of the plate material is nonlocal visco-plastic, the classical theory of vis
The authors' previous analyses of normal perforation of thin plate by high speed projectiles are generalized to include truncated cones, at oblique striking angles. A complete velocity-displacement history is obtained for the most general case. Results are presented in graphical form.
