Abstract
We consider the high-velocity penetration of long rods and shaped-charge jets into semi-infinite targets with initial impact velocities of 2–4 km/sec. At these velocities, the mechanical characteristics of the target materials makes a great contribution to the final parameters of the process: penetration depth and critical velocity of the impactor (jet). The dynamic compressive stability threshold of the material, obtained in experiments with uniaxial dynamic loading of flat targets, is proposed as a parameter that determines the properties of the target in the penetration process.
