Failure and Penetration Response of Borosilicate Glass During Short Rod Impact
Abstract
A test series with short gold rods as the projectile and borosilicate glass as the target was carried out to investigate whether the failure front in the glass remains 'steady' after the driving stress from the penetrating rod is removed. Impact velocities from ~1 km/s were investigated. Results show that the failure front induced by the rod impact can cease propagating after the rod is totally eroded inside the glass. Interestingly, cessation of the propagating front is delayed in time from the point when the rod is completely eroded.
