This survey summarizes analytical, numerical and experimental investigations of targets
subjected to non-standard collisions, penetration and perforation of strikers, defined as all …

This review covers studies dealing with simplified analytical models for ballistic penetration
of an impactor into different solid media, namely, metals, soil, concrete, and composites at …

Updated throughout for the new edition, Armour: Materials, Theory, and Design covers
extant and emergent protection technologies driving advances in armour systems. Covering …

The high velocity impact of solid bodies has attracted a large amount of research over the
past century by both military and civil engineers. These impacts, at hundreds to thousands of …

SPH (Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics) techniques provide the capability to perform high
distortion impact computations in a Lagrangian framework. It is also possible to link SPH …

This paper presents a research programme in progress where the main objective is to study
the behaviour of Weldox 460 E steel plates impacted by blunt-nosed cylindrical projectiles in …

The past few years have witnessed a growing interest in the application of the mechanics of
plastic deformation of metals to a variety of engineering problems associated with structural …

Dynamic Plasticity discusses the problems encountered in the theory of dynamic
deformation of plastic bodies. The book describes one-dimensional problems involving a …

The inherent no‐slip contact constraint in the standard material point method (MPM) creates
a greater penetration resistance. Therefore, the standard MPM was not able to treat the …

Normal and oblique impact on 20 mm thick AA6082-T4 aluminium plates are studied both
experimentally and numerically. Two types of small arms bullets were used in the ballistic …
