Sinopse

This book comprehensively discussesessential aspects of terminal ballistics, combining experimental data,numerical simulations and analytical modeling. Employing a unique approach tonumerical simulations as a measure of sensitivity for the major physicalparameters, the new edition also includes the following features: new figuresto better illustrate the problems discussed, improved explanations for theequation of state of a solid and for the cavity expansion process, new dataconcerning the Kolsky bar test, and a discussion of analytical modeling for thehole diameter in a thin metallic plate impacted by a shaped charge jet. Thesection on thick concrete targets penetrated by rigid projectiles has now beenexpanded to include the latest findings, and two new sections have been added:one on a novel approach to the perforation of thin concrete slabs, and one ontesting the failure of thin metallic plates using a hydrodynamic ram.
