Theoretical Study on Equivalent Target of Ceramic Composite Armor

The theory of equivalent target was studied by considering the standoff curve and the penetration model of the horizontal velocity method to analyze the equivalent mechanism of spaced target equating ceramic composite armor. This theory can forecast the penetration ability of the escape jet. The equ...

Description
Summary:The theory of equivalent target was studied by considering the standoff curve and the penetration model of the horizontal velocity method to analyze the equivalent mechanism of spaced target equating ceramic composite armor. This theory can forecast the penetration ability of the escape jet. The equivalent target model can be obtained after the structure of the shaped charge and armor as well as the relationship between the armor and the shaped charge is confirmed. The experimental results confirmed the forecast accuracy of the theoretical model.
