The Measurement of Forces Which Resist Penetration of STS Armor, Mild Steel, and 24 ST Aluminum

Abstract

The initial investigation of the forces which resist the penetration of armor by solid steel bullets have been continued in order to find the effects of the three variables, the hardness and thickness of the armor and the height of the ogive of the bullet. Complications due to brittle-type deformation were avoided by using mild steel having a hardness of 99 BH and STS having a hardness of 266 BH as armor samples.
