Scale Model Penetration Experiments: Finite Thickness Steel Targets.
Abstract:
A kinetic energy penetration scaling study has been performed with LD 20 projectiles into homogeneous RHA-like targets at two impact velocities 1.5 kmls and 2.2 kms. The experiments were performed at three scales nominally 13, 16, and 112. The report documents the similitude analysis, discusses issues in scaling using replica models, and the experiments. The report concludes with a discussion of a possible cause of the observed distortions in perfect scaling.
