Design for Maximizing RHA Penetration of Yawed Penetrators.

Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze the penetration performance of an anti-armor kinetic energy penetrator with increased RHA penetration during yawed impact. Two penetrators are proposed: a variable diameter penetrator and a variable density penetrator.
