Abstract
The penetration resistance of a concrete target varies greatly with the strike velocity of the projectile from low and intermediate impact velocities to high impact velocities. A fuzzy model of the penetration resistance of a concrete target is proposed to describe this characteristic. A complete analysis is conducted of the penetration process during which a rigid projectile penetrates a semi-infinite concrete target based on the proposed fuzzy model. Good agreement is observed between the experimental and predicted results based on the proposed fuzzy model.
