title = "Mechanics of structural design of EPW warhead",
abstract = "The present paper summarizes the penetration theory and mechanics of structural design of the earth penetration weapon (EPW). The assumption of rigid projectile is usually employed to study the penetration/perforation of EPW. It is well known that only two dimensionless numbers, i.e., the impact function I and the geometry function of projectile N, dominate the whole penetration process. The appropriate range of impact function I and geometry function N of EPW are specified, which can be applicable to guide the structural design of projectile body. As an example, the design thicknesses of various EPW projectile cartridges are predicted out according to the compress/stretch and bending analyses.",
