A new analytical model for the low-velocity perforation of thin steel plates by hemispherical-nosed projectiles

Ballistic experiments were conducted on thin steel plates that are normally impacted by hemispherical-nosed projectiles at velocities higher than their ballistic limits. The deformation and failure modes of the thin steel plates were analyzed. A new method was proposed according to the experimental...
