A Ballistic Limit Analytical Model of Tungsten Ball Perforating Ceramic/Aluminum Composite Target

From the experimental data on ceramic/aluminum composite target, the mechanism of tungsten ball impacting a ceramic/aluminum composite target has been studied. By analyzing the transition of energy in the process of impact, a simple ballistic limit analytical model of tungsten ball impacting a ceramic/aluminum composite target has been proposed; and the result taken from this model is consistent with that of the experiment.
