TL;DR: In this article, an analytical cavity model based on the solution to the Rayleigh-Besant problem was developed to describe the cavity dynamics of high-speed horizontal water entry behaviors of flat, ogival and hemispherical-nose projectiles were studied experimentally and theoretically.

TL;DR: In this article, a group of 12.65mm diameter blunt rigid projectiles were fired against 9.94 mm thick 2024-T351 aluminum alloy plates by using a one-stage gas gun in the impact velocity range of 133.4m/s∼363.8 m/s, and the ballistic limit was obtained by fitting the initial and residual velocity data.

TL;DR: In this article, the Lode-dependent fracture criterion was used to predict the Taylor impact fracture behavior in a one-stage gas gun in the impact velocity range of 110.8-312.7m/s.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of the deformation and fracture behavior of two different hardness values of 38CrSi steel was performed with flat-nosed projectiles against hard steel plates within the velocity range of 200-600m/s.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of Lode angle incorporation into a fracture criterion when predicting the ballistic resistance of 2024-T351 aluminum alloy plates struck by cylindrical projectiles with different nose shapes through finite element (FE) simulations was evaluated.
