Dynamic Penetration of Selected Projectiles into Particulate Media

Abstract

This is an overall study of the whole process of projectile penetration into soil. The governing differential equations for the soil target medium are developed using the equations of motion and the continuity condition. Constitutive relationships are derived from Mohr-Coulomb theory for a rigid plastic material and from viscosity theory. The other necessary equations are generated from an experimental investigation of the penetration mechanism.
