Article Kinematic Analyses of Metallic Plate Perforation by Penetrators With Various Nose Geometries(defence Scientific information Documentation Centre, 2022) Akyurek, T.This study analyses kinematics of a metallic plate perforation by a penetrator with truncated ogive nose geometry to find solutions also to blunt, conical, ogive, and hemi-spherical nosed penetrators. Plugging, ductile hole enlargement, dishing, and petal forming failure modes are used in the analyses. Acceleration throughout perforation is calculated by using the related failure mode, analytical model, and the target-penetrator interaction geometry. Depending on the failure model; back lip and front lip formation during ductile hole enlargement, plug formation during plugging, and deflection of target plate during dishing is also analysed. Analyses are based on projectile???s equation of motion, momentum and energy equations, and projectile-target plate interactions. The analyses results for selected cases, with the impact velocity range 215-863 m/s, are compared with the test data. The residual velocity estimation for a strike velocity is close to the related test data with an error of 0.3-2.2 %, except for conical nosed penetrators at impact velocities approaching the ballistic limit velocity.
