An analytical and experimental study of the behavior of semi-infinite metal targets under hypervelocity impact.

In this study the material strength and strain rate effects associated with the hypervelocity impact problem were considered. A yield criterion involving the second and their invariants of the stress deviator and a strain rate sensitive constitutive equation were developed. The part of total deforma...
