Abstract:

The penetration effects of geometrically similar projectiles on high-strength granite targets are tests to study the inherent mechanism of the size effect of the projectile penetrating into rock medium. According to the penetration test results, the applicability of typical empirical formulae for predicting the penetration depth of projectile into high strength rock is evaluated, a penetration depth calculation method with the shape and diameter coefficients as the control variables is developed, and the conversion relationship between the penetration depths of model projectile and prototype projectile under different scale ratios is established. The research results show that the proportional penetration depth of model projectile and the prototype projectile has the caliber effect. The effect coefficient is not only related to the scale ratios, but also related to the diameter of prototype projectile and the material parameters of target. It increases with the increase in the prototype projectile diameter, and decreases with the increase in the scale ratio. The established conversion relation of penetration depth explains the reason for the error between the model test result and the prototype test result caused by the traditional model test method, and reveals the mechanism of the size effect of projectile penetrating into rock-like materials.
