Numerical Method to Predict Projectile Penetration.

摘要

The Simplified Analytical Model of Penetration with Lateral Loading (SAMPLL) computer code developed at Sandia National Laboratories has been modified to allow additional penetration capabilities. The new capabilities include the ability to model penetration by other than cylindrical penetrators (flares, tapers, and boattails) and the ability to calculate penetration/perforation of multiple layers of different materials. Additionally, updated soil and rock empirical equations have been added to the model. A broader range of problems can now be modeled more accurately with the modified SAMPLL. 7 refs., 6 figs.
