Analysis of Ballistic Limit

Abstract

The critical impact velocity for the perforation of a target can be calculated with four techniques, two of which involve extrapolation of residual speed data and two of which involve a statistical approach. These techniques are described briefly and a nomenclature associated with each technique is suggested. The limit velocity for 30 groups of data was calculated and a comparison is made to determine their range. The results indicate that reasonable accuracy can be generally assumed for all techniques, but that an accurate critical impact velocity determination is dependent on the type and amount of data.
