Two-Dimensional Computations of Obliquity Effects on the Penetration Process

V. Kucher

Abstract

A two-dimensional computer study, simulating the oblique impact of a copper rod on a steel target, was made of the edge-on impact of a semi-infinite copper plate on an infinite steel plate. The obliquity angles included 0, 45, 60, and 75 deg. Obliquity effects are noted in the pressure peaks, penetration histories, hole or cut growth, and penetrator-target deformations.
