Simple One Dimensional Models of the Penetration of Rods

Abstract

This note discusses a simple one dimensional model for describing the penetration of armor by rods based upon work by Alekseevshii and Gogolewski. We show that these models give incorrect results because they assume that the mass of the target material is constant, not a function of time as it actually is. We show that assuming this time dependence of the mass, yields results quite consistent with experimental data.
