A PARAMETRIC STUDY OF THE HYPERVELOCITY PERFORATION OF VISCO-PLASTIC PLATES

Abstract

Theoretical results based on a viscoplastic flow model for hypervelocity perforation of thin plates are presented. The solutions of the governing equations including the yield strength are obtained. The results of a parametric study performed on an IBM 1620 computer are also included. The effects on the radius of perforation due to various physical quantities are discussed. The theoretical radius of perforation and residual velocity are compared with the experimental values obtained by R. W. Watson.
