Penetration of a rigid projectile into an elastic-plastic target of finite thickness
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the problem of non-steady penetration of a rigid projectile into an elastic-plastic target of finite thickness, and a specific blunt projectile shape in the form of an ovoid of Rankine is used because it corresponds to a reasonably simple velocity field which exactly satisfies the continuity equation and the condition of impenetrability of the projectile.

Oblique penetration of a rigid projectile into an elastic-plastic target
TL;DR: In this paper, an irrotational isochoric velocity field is considered that consists of three parts, each of which together satisfy the condition of impenetrability at the projectile's surface.
