Abstract
Made by high-density metals, long-rod penetrators have excellent performances on penetration and perforation when launched at hypervelocities around 1.5~3.0 km/s. Due to their important background in the military application, long-rod penetration at hypervelocity has become an active research focus. The present paper reviews research advance up-to-date on long-rod penetration at hypervelocity. Firstly, basic concepts, research methods, and theoretical models are introduced. Secondly, highlighted issues which are focused in past studies and their applications, including rod and target materials, nose shape, L/D efiect and segmented rods, ceramic targets and interface defeat, as well as non-ideal long-rod penetration, etc. Finally, some future research proposals are suggested.
