A Brief Study of the Possibility of using Partial Similitudes to Estimate the Level of Impact Damage.

摘要

Results are presented of a preliminary study to determine the possibility of using limited or partial similitudes to determine the general level of damage that results from high-speed particle impact. Experimental results are presented and compared for four separate types of impact which satisfy a certain partial similitude. The similarity of impact damage for these conditions is discussed for both simple and compound targets. (Author)
