Abstract

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to Department of Defense, Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and Reports (0704-0188), 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington, VA 22202-4302. Respondents should be aware that notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if it does not display a currently valid OMB control number.

Theoretical Research Progress in High-Velocity/Hypervelocity Impact on Semi-Infinite Targets

“…According to Segletes's [73] view that the projectile was constrained by target in initial penetration phase and the erosion is difficult to occur, Lou [74] used the Bishop et al [75] and Hill's [76] critical pressure of crater for the compressible materials and Rosenberg's relation ≈ 3 [77,78] obtained:…”

Experimental investigations on the ballistic impact performances of cold rolled sheet metals

“…The numbers of plane-strain radial necks formed by conical and round-ended projectiles into flat targets were determined. Segletes [6] investigated the penetration of ductile targets impacted by a hemispherical-nosed tungsten projectile at the erosion-threshold velocity. In another experimental study, the ballistic resistance and damage formation of the heat treated steel targets with different thicknesses, hole diameters and target mounting was investigated [7].…”
