Penetration Depth Analysis of K307 Cannonballs Colliding into Sand of Various Shear Moduli

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to test the performance of a cannonball, various types of media are used in a test site. The best media should have good stability, effectiveness, economic feasibility, etc. Among them, sand is most widely used. Sand, which consists of many small grains, can be used effectively in a site. In this study, the penetration depth of a cannonball is analyzed for shear modulus using FEM. It is found that the penetration depth decreases with the shear modulus of sand. For management of a test side, the shear modulus of sand is an important factor.
