.... It transpires that the projectiles with hemispherical and blunt impact faces require the largest and the smallest impact perforation energies, respectively. Comparisons are made between the experimental results for the perforation energies and the predictions of several empirical equations. Design calculations...

... one. The data are used to explore the validity of the geometrically similar scaling laws over a geometric scale range of 4. The experimental results are compared to the empirical equations for the impact perforation of plates and with theoretical rigid-plastic predictions for the large ductile...
