The Penetration of Fragments into Collection Media

Abstract

A generalized resistive force law is proposed to describe the penetration of fragments into collection media. An empirical model for predicting fragment striking velocity is obtained from the assumed force law. Three successive simplifications of the model are studied and their accuracies compared. The usefulness of these relations is demonstrated.
