Abstract: A projectile with asymmetrically grooved nose is proposed to further improve the penetration performance of projectile into concrete target. The projectile penetrates into target with passive rotation during the penetration. The asymmetrically grooved nose projectile is geometrically characterized under the polar coordinates. An extended quasi-static cylindrical cavity expansion model with tangential shear effect is constructed to estimate the normal stress on the surface of asymmetrically grooved-nose projectile by the quasi-static cylindrical cavity expansion model. The localized interaction models (LIMs) for the ultimate depth of penetration (DOP) of asymmetrically grooved nose projectile are derived based on the predicted normal stress. Comparative experiments of the asymmetrically grooved nose projectile and the ogive- nose projectile penetrating into semi-infinite concrete target are conducted. The analysis results prove that the LIM with extended quasi-static cylindrical cavity expansion model has a preferable estimating accuracy and is suitable for prediction of DOP of asymmetric groove-nose projectile. Compared with ogive-nose projectile, the asymmetrically grooved nose projectile has a better penetration performance.Key
