A simplified theoretical model has been established to describe the big yawed rod penetration into semi-infinite Rolled Homogeneous Armor (RHA) targets at normal incidence, the effect of ballistic yaw is quantitatively described in the rate of penetration. Further ,programs can draw some curves after receiving some essential factors of impacting and common parameters of rod and target. Finally, an experiment was conducted to investigate the normal penetration of the big yawed rod into RHA targets. The predictions of the model are approximately in agreement with experimental results. |
