Correlation of new hypervelocity impact data by threshold penetration relations
Abstract
Threshold penetration data are established by impacting spherical projectiles onto 2024 aluminum single-wall targets. Nylon and cadmium projectiles were used at impacting velocities from 3.0 to 6.8 km/s and 7.9 to 8.5 km/s respectively. These data are combined with existing data and compared with three threshold relations to assess their respective validities over a wide range of projectile densities. Two of these relations were validated over the extended range of projectile densities.
