Magnesium Projectile Impact Behavior,
Abstract
Firings of small, hollow magnesium cylinders at normal incidence against simulated concrete targets were conducted. The purpose of these tests was to gather basic data regarding the impact behavior of magnesium which can be used as a starting point in magnesium-case warhead design. Significantly different deformation and failure modes were found for the magnesium projectiles as compared to similar geometry steel projectiles tested previously. (Author)
