Abstract:

To summarize the general patterns of force and motion models for oblique penetration of projectiles, the penetration process of projectile against hard targets is regarded as the motion in the penetration force field based on the assumption of rigid projectile and the idea of projectile-target separation. The common law of ballistic stability and state-parameter evolution of projectile,which is independent of force models’ form, is derived based on the time translation invariance of force field and the symmetry of normal penetration. Specifically, a criterion for the motion stability of projectile in the case of normal penetration and the projectile completely penetrating in hard target can be given. The numerical solution methods for the balance and stability criteria of projectile motion in the case of oblique or incomplete penetration, are also provided. All types of criteria indicate that the penetration velocity, angular velocity, and angle of attack have the important significant impacts on the evolution of penetration state, where the angle of attack has the most significant impacton the evolution of penetration state. In addition, for any moment during the penetration process, the closeness of the penetration evolution is also proven with analytical mechanics method. The derived characteristics of projectile motion can provide guidance for the design of penetration test and simulation.
