Abstract:

To support the theoretical design of the hypersonic missile’s terminal effect and meet the development demand of penetration mechanics theory of non-circular projectiles, the penetration mechanism of non-circular projectilesis a key scientific problem required to be solved. A comprehensive review is conducted on the penetration behavior, penetration mechanism, ballistic stability, and structural response of non-circular projectiles.It is a review and summary of the existing research work, aiming to establish a basic framework for researching the penetration problem of non-circular projectiles.Moreover, the new phenomena and mechanisms introduced by the structural changes of non-circular projectiles are highlighted. Three suggestions for the future research of the non-circular projectiles are put forward for the reference of relevant researchers.

Key words: non-circular projectile, penetration mechanics, ballistic stability, structuralresponse
