Abstract
Mechanisms of projectile defeat and ballistic resistance of thin targets impacted by tip-deformable conical projectiles have been discussed in the context of the influence of apex angle of the projectile. Transition in target local failure modes occurred as the projectile apex angle was altered. The effect on projectile deformation and ballistic properties has also been discussed. A brief discussion on projectile deformation mechanism and projectile defeat near ballistic limit velocities with supporting experimental evidence is included. Numerical simulation using ABAQUS/Explicit has been able to effectively predict the projectile deformation and associated target behavior.
