Analytical models for penetration mechanics: A Review
WEBOct 1, 2017 · Backman and Goldsmith [1] present an extensive survey (278 references) of the interaction of projectiles and targets. They looked at semi-infinite targets, thin plate penetration and perforation, and intermediate and thick targets, covering the …
The mechanics of penetration of projectiles into targets
WEBTarget penetration by deformable projectiles is considered in the context of an established onedimensional theory based on the fundamental balance laws of continuum mechanics. The paper critically …
Penetration Experiments with Limestone Targets and Ogive-Nose …
WEBand experimental methods used to study the broad field of penetration mechanics (Backman and Goldsmith, 1978; Anderson and Bodner, 1988; Hohler and Stilp, 1990; Recht, 1990; Corbett, Reid, and Johnson, 1996).
Penetration into soil targets - ScienceDirect
WEBJan 1, 1992 · We developed penetration equations for ogival-nose projectiles that penetrated soil targets after normal impact. The spherical cavity-expansion approximation simplified the target analysis, so we obtained closed-form penetration equations.
A Survey of Penetration Mechanics for Long Rods | SpringerLink
WEBSome of the simpler methods in current use for analyzing ballistic impacts by long rod penetrators are reviewed and critiqued. In spite of several obvious shortcomings the eroding rod model has been used as a starting point and guide for an experimental investigation...
The mechanics of penetration of projectiles into targets
WEBJan 1, 1978 · The present survey is concerned with the terminal ballistics aspects and the penetration mechanics viewpoint of the interaction of penetrators and targets. The latter are categorized as semi-infinite, thick, intermediate and thin.
Calculation of Penetration - SpringerLink
WEBDec 20, 2018 · This paper provides an overview of the calculation of penetration. Particular emphasis is placed on numerical simulation of penetration. The predictive capability of current wave propagation codes for impact problems as well as requirements for improving their predictive capability are discussed.
Applied Mechanics | Free Full-Text | Spherical Cavity Expansion …
WEBFor this reason, Backman and Goldsmith simplified the study of rod penetration according to the impact velocity of the projectile and the respective penetration depth in the impacted target, as shown in Figure 1. This schematic only shows a wide concept for the study of IPD, and it could involve different scenarios, from low velocity impacts to ...
Advances in Projectile Penetration Mechanism in Soil Media - MDPI
WEBThe review addressed the effects of soil and penetrator properties on the penetration process, especially on deep penetration. Backman and Goldsmith identified terminal ballistics aspects and addressed penetration
Backman & Goldsmith - The Mechanics of Penetration of …
WEBThis document discusses the mechanics of projectiles penetrating targets. It begins by defining key terms and categorizing impacts based on velocity ranges. It describes target damage mechanisms and introduces a phase diagram distinguishing between embedment and ricochet regimes.
