Approximate methods for the analysis of earth penetration

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6546157

Recently developed theoretical models of earth penetration are described. These models have been incorporated into both existing and newly created computer codes which are used to predict penetrator stresses and depth of penetration. The cases of normal and oblique impact are treated and comparisons with full scale experiments are made.
