Abstract

Abstract : Numerical simulations are presented describing the performance of segmented monolithic kinetic energy penetrators against oblique-spaced rolled homogeneous armor (RHA) plates. The three-dimensional simulations depict the effects of striking velocity; target plate thickness-to-penetrator diameter ratio. (T/D); segment spacing-to-penetrator diameter ratio (S/D); and the number of segments, on penetrator performance. Keywords: Kinetic energy penetrator; Rolled homogeneous armor; RHA; Segmented penetrator; Spaced armor; Impact; Computer simulations; Penetration; Perforation; Kinetic energy; Armor.
