Mechanics of Long Rod Penetration into Ceramic Targets

Abstract

The objective of this program is to formulate an approximate analytical method for the estimate of penetration depth of a projectile into a target and provide a rational basis to deduce the constitutive equations of the target material at large damage. An array of benchmark cases was simulated, and new statistical methods are developed and discussed.
