PRECISION MEASUREMENT OF LEAD-TO-LEAD IMPACT

Abstract

Lead spheres having a diameter of 3/16 in. (0.476 cm) were impacted normally at velocities up to 2.0 km/sec upon lead targets at different temperatures. The volume, area, and depth of resulting craters were measured and plotted as a function of either the pellet impacting energy, the pellet momentum, or the pellet velocity. (Author)
