Penetration of Granular Projectiles into a Water Target

چکیده
The penetration of low-speed projectiles into a water target has been studied in the last several years to understand the physics behind the formation and collapse of cavities. In such studies, the projectiles employed were solid bodies or liquid drops. Here we report similar impact experiments using granular projectiles, with the aim to investigate how the morphology of the cavities is determined by the balance between the dynamic pressure exerted by the fluid and the cohesive strength of the impactors. From the results we present and discuss in this manuscript, we speculate on the dynamics of meteorite disintegration in the atmosphere of our planet.

Analytical and numerical modeling of erosive projectiles into steel fiber reinforced concrete target
In this paper, modeling of high speed projectiles with different nose shapes, penetrating into steel fiber reinforced concrete is investigated. This is a novel study because it considers the length to diameter ratio of steel fiber as well as projectile length to diameter ratio and volume fraction of fiber used in concrete matrix on the impact resistance of steel fiber reinforced concrete fibers...
متن کاملPlastic Wave Propagation Model for Perforation of Metallic Plates by Blunt Projectiles
In this paper, a six-stage interactive model is presented for the perforation of metallic plates using blunt deformable projectiles when plastic wave propagation in both target and projectile is considered. In this analytical model, it is assumed that the projectile and target materials are rigid – plastic linear work hardened. The penetration of the projectile into the target is divided into s...

Oblique impact of cylindrical projectiles with blunt, conical and hemispherical noses with different aspect ratios on metallic targets with different thicknesses is investigated and penetration critical angle is determined. Circular targets of Al1100-H12 had a diameter of 240mm and thicknesses of 1, 2 and 3mm. Steel work hardened projectiles with blunt, conical and hemispherical noses are made ...

In the present study, the three-dimensional elastic discrete element method (DEM) and the elastic finite element method (FEM) analysis were, respectively, applied to the randomly distributed identical spheres as a granular target and to the cylindrical projectiles in order to clarify dynamic response during penetration. In the target, it was found that highly densified region was formed just ah...

In the field of the penetration of kinetic energy projectiles into concrete slabs, scientists have focused on using gas guns. As most of the projectiles have a rotation because they fired from grooved barrels, the penetration theory of them into concrete targets has not to be mentioned. Knowing the residual velocity of the rotating projectiles is important in designing of the civil and military...
