Study on the Dimensionless Model of High-Speed Penetration Efficiency

Abstract:

Penetration efficiency reflects high speed projectile penetration ability with the impact velocity (>800m/s) variation. To further study the penetration efficiency engineering model, the physical and mechanical parameters that affect the penetration efficiency of high-speed projectiles penetrating into concrete target are analyzed, penetration efficiency dimensionless quantities are determined, such as projectile’s length to diameter ratio, projectile and target strength ratio, etc. The dimensionless equation of penetration efficiency is got by using the homogeneous principles of the laws of physics dimensionless. According to experimental data, a function of dimensionless penetration efficiency and dimensionless projectile speed is fitted. Finally, the model is verified by test, and the model calculations and experiment results agree well. The model obtained in this paper can estimate the projectile’s impact velocity when the penetration efficiency reaches the maximum, it would be a theoretical guidance for high speed penetration effects experiments.
