Abstract

Based on a series of experimental and theoretical analyses for a concrete target penetrated by a projectile, a 4-stage model of crater-forming is presented in which the forming process of a crater is divided into 4 stages. Based on the Normal Expansion Theory, the analytical expressions of resistant forces on the projectile are given. Through analysing tensile fracture and considering dynamical cracks bifurcation and propagation, the sizes of craters are calculated. They are in good agreement with the test results.
