HYPERVELOCITY IMPACT PHENOMENA
Abstract
The parameters governing the failure of thin metal plates under the impact of high-speed fragments are being studied; special emphasis is placed on the lightweight structural alloys. The geometrical features of the perforations, together with the spatial, mass, and velocity distributions of the ejecta produced in the perforation process, are considered. A few select target materials e.g., Al and Pb are currently being investigated under impact conditions that involve the same projectile geometry but different impact velocities.
