Assessment of Ballistic Performance for Transparent Material

Assessment of Ballistic Performance for Transparent Material

A finite element method was used to investigate the ballistic behavior of Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) under impact loading by spherical steel projectile with different ranges of velocities. Three different target thicknesses were used in the experimental and the numerical works. A mathematical mod...
