Description

The investigation of penetration characteristics of highly deformable projectiles in reinforced concrete slabs for velocities between 100-400 m/s turn out that the penetration formulas developed for compact steel projectiles are not applicable. The measured penetration depths are smaller, they diverge increasingly with growing velocity. This is caused by the projectile deformation which takes a considerable amount of the kinetic energy from the penetration process. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die Untersuchung des Penetrationsverhaltens stark deformierbarer Projektile im Geschwindigkeitsbereich von 100-400 m/s in bewehrten Betonplatten zeigt, dass die fuer kompakte Stahlprojektile entwickelten Penetrationsformeln nicht anwendbar sind. Die bei diesen Versuchen gemessenen Eindringtiefen sind geringer und weichen mit wachsender Geschwindigkeit immer staerker ab. Die Ursache liegt in der Projektildeformation, die dem Penetrationsvorgang einen betraechtlichen Teil der verfuegbaren kinetischen Energie entzieht. (orig.)
