Comparison of Damaged Borosilicate Constitutive Constants Obtained with Confined-Compression and Constant-Pressure-Compression Devices (Comparison of "Sleeve" and "Bomb" Tests)

Abstract

Ultimate objective of this research is to transfer properties measured in the lab to ballistic simulations that can predict ballistic tests results. Conclusions of this research includes that: 1) Mohr-Coulomb (MC) captures very nicely both strength and failure phenomenon for bomb tests. 2) MC also captures failure angle and strength in the sleeve tests. 3) The overlap between bomb and sleeve tests support the results of the sleeve tests.
