Analysis of the noneroding penetration of tungsten alloy long rods into aluminum targets /

Data concerning the rigid/eroding-rod threshold transition are reported for hemispherical-nosed tungsten rods penetrating into thick 5083-aluminum targets. Presented data quantitatively buttress existing explanations. The current analysis suggests that the penetrator must bring to bear a different &...
