INITIAL PENETRATION OF PROJECTILES INTO CONCRETE AND PLASTER OF PARIS

The forces felt by a projectile were measured during its initial penetration of concrete and plaster of paris. Various nose shapes were tested. The testing technique used was that of firing concrete and plaster of paris at small-scale stationary models instrumented with SR-4 electrical resistance type strain gages on the afterbody.
