A three-dimensional penetration trajectory model for ogive-nosed projectile into metal targets

The projectile-target encounter conditions always play an important part during the penetration of projectile into metal target. The presence of oblique angle, pitch, yaw and angular velocity of projectile, limiting the efficiency of penetration, can lead to fully three-dimensional (3D) penetration trajectory. Thus, a 3D penetration trajectory model for ogive-nosed projectile into metal target is developed based on the local interaction theory...
