A hyperbolic yield criterion and Murnaghan equation of state were introduced to describe
the plastic behavior of concrete material under projectile penetration, and an extended …

Eighteen shots of flat nosed cylindrical 45# steel projectiles penetrating into mortar targets
with cubic compressive strength of 50 MPa are conducted, where the striking velocities are …

We describe virtually all known analytical models for predicting protective properties of
concrete shields against normal high-speed impact by rigid projectiles. Presented formulas …

Aiming to protect persons and equipment in the protective structures, four types of concrete
structures are presented in this chapter: UHP-BASFRC/fabric composite panels, monolithic …

Since penetration tests of concrete targets against rigid projectiles are commonly conducted
in reduced geometrical scale, whether the replica scaling law holds or not is very important …

The survey is dedicated to approximate empirical and analytical models which were
suggested for describing high-speed penetration into geological shields. This review differs …

This paper carries out a numerical study on the penetration and perforation of (reinforced)
concrete targets subjected to impact by ogival-nosed projectiles at normal incidence. A …

In this study, experiments in which projectiles penetrated into plain and reinforced concrete
targets were conducted by controlling single variables for a differential experimental design …

Concrete has been widely used to construct protective structures in both civil engineering
and defense installations which may be subjected to impact by projectiles at different …

A numerical study is presented herein on the effect of free water content on the penetration
of concrete targets subjected to projectile impact. The paper consists of two parts: the first …
