Depth of penetration of high-speed penetrator with including the effect of mass abrasion

Mass abrasion is observed on the nose of projectile when a projectile strikes concrete target at high velocity. To evaluate the influence of the mass abrasion on the depth of penetration (DOP) limit, the relationship between the nose factor of the residual projectile after abrasion and the initial i...

Description
Summary:Mass abrasion is observed on the nose of projectile when a projectile strikes concrete target at high velocity. To evaluate the influence of the mass abrasion on the depth of penetration (DOP) limit, the relationship between the nose factor of the residual projectile after abrasion and the initial impact velocity is suggested according to the experimental data. Based on the dynamic cavity expansion theory, with considering the effects of varying nose factor and mass of projectile, a modified model is proposed to calculate the depth of penetration of kinetic energy penetrator. The model predicts that a theoretical maximum DOP exists due to the mass abrasion of the projectile. The model is checked by the different experimental data.
