Cratering and Penetration

Abstract

General theoretical models of the behavior of thick targets and one- and two-layer thin targets under hypervelocity impact are developed. Progress is reported in energy partitioning in impact, transient measurements in cratering, wave motion in impact, material properties, and cratering and penetration.
