Depth prediction for earth-penetrating projectiles

Young, C.W.

Empirical equation is developed for prediction of total penetration distance of projectile in many natural earth targets; development of this equation was based on approximately 160 full-scale penetration tests into variety of targets, including rock, gypsite, permafrost, ice desert alluvium, silt sand and saturated clay; parameters considered in development (other than target materials) were projectile weights from 222 to 5750 lb, projectile diameters from 3. 1 to 18 in., impact velocities from 78 to 1077 fps, and 11 projectile nose shapes; necessary tables of nose-performance coefficients and soil constant are presented.
