BEHIND ARMOR DEBRIS DISTRIBUTION AFTER KE ROD PERFORATION OF RHA PLATES FOR DISTINCT OVERMATCH CONDITIONS

摘要

Experiments have been performed with L/D = 6 WSA rods against RHA targets with thicknesses of T = 3-125mm due to overmatches of OM = 0.98-0.19 at normal and oblique impacts at v_P = 1700m/s. Amount, mass and lateral spread of the fragments increase with increasing target obliquity and RHA thickness, achieve a maximum for T = 70mm and decrease again for T > 70mm. Application of PE liners diminish amount and emission angle of the fragments.
