A Simple Analytical Model to Simulate Oblique Ballistic Impact onto Fabric

Article Preview

Abstract:

A simple analytical model for oblique ballistic impact of projectiles into fabrics are presented. This model is extension of Chocron-Benloulo penetration model. Results are compared with experimental data. There is good agreement between analytical and experimental results.
