Resistance of a concrete target to penetration of a rigid projectile - revisited

Penetration into concrete is a subject of much interest and importance that attracts researchers for many years. This paper aims at reviewing the major contributions to model the deep penetration of a rigid projectile that perpendicularly hits a concrete target with emphasis on concrete target resistance. With regard to the concrete target resistance there exist four major modeling families: empirical, semi-empirical, analytical and...
