Abstract
null null Projectiles with three different nose shapes (blunt, hemispherical and conical) have been used in gas gun experiments to penetrate 12 mm thick Weldox 460 E steel plates. Based on the experimental results, the residual velocity curves of the target material were constructed and compared. It was found that the nose shape of the projectile significantly affected both the energy absorption mechanism and the failure mode of the target...
