HYPERVELOCITY IMPACT PHENOMENA
Abstract
A considerable amount of data have been accumulated and analyzed describing the character of spall fragments resulting from the impacton thin targets by high velocity projectiles. In these tests the projectile velocity has been varied while the projectile material andits geometry (hence its mass) have been kept constant. The projectiles used were steel cylinders with both the diameter and length equal to1/16 inches having a mass of about 24 mg.; these are designated as Scale I, steel projectiles.
