Segmented rod penetrator concepts created interest in the |
|
ballistic performance of high-density, low length-to- |
|
diameter (LID) ratio penetrators, but there was a lack of |
|
data showing the performance of such thin disks vs. high- |
|
obliquity targets. An experimental and computational |
|
study was conducted to examine the basic case of a single |
|
tungsten heavy alloy disk with an LID of 1/8 impacting a |
|
high-obliquity (65 degrees) rolled homogeneous armor |
|
steel plate at a nominal velocity of 2 km/s. The study |
|
provides valuable insight into the penetration process. |
|
Results include depths of penetration and penetration per |
|
unit length. Good agreement is seen between the |
|
experimental data and the CTH simulation; both show a |
|
ricochet phenomenon. Results are also compared to |
|
comparable previous studies, and possible explanations |
|
for differences are given. |
