The penetration resistance of alumina was found to decrease with velocity for armor-piercing bullets. However, it was relatively independent of velocity for rods and fragment-siaulating projectiles. These results are explained in terms of compressive yielding caused by high velocity pointed projec

We report a direct observation of the "streamline" reversal of eroded rod material proposed by Allen and Rogers in 196 1 [ 11. Allen and Rogers suggested that the "turning" of highvelocity long-rod penetrator material at the target interface could be viewed as a reversal of the direction of a "strea
It has been known for several years that glass is a relatively effective armor against shaped charge jets [ 11 even though its performance against conventional long-rod projectiles is mediocre. Some of the authors have earlier postulated that this effect is due at least in part to an increase of the
In this paper we extend Forrestal's semi-empirical penetration method for limestone targets to account for pitch, yaw and projectile deformation. This is achieved using a combined analytical and computational technique we have developed to calculate permanent projectile deformation without erosion.
