This monograph covers all important issues of terminal ballistics in a comprehensive way combining experimental data, numerical simulations and analytical modeling. It uses a unique approach to numerical simulations as sensitivity measure for the major physical parameters. In the first chapter, the book includes necessary details about the experimental equipment which are used for ballistic tests. The second chapter covers essential features of the codes which are used in recent years all over the world, the Euler vs. Lagrange schemes, meshing techniques etc. The third chapter, devoted to the penetration mechanics of rigid rods, brings the update of modeling in this field. The fourth chapterdeals with plate perforation and the fifth chapter deals with the penetrationof shaped charge jets and eroding long rods. The last chapter includes several techniques for the disruption and defeating of the main threats in armor design. . Throughout the book the authors demonstrate the advantages of the simulation approach in understanding the basis physics behind the investigated phenomena. Applies a unique approach using numerical simulations as sensitivity measures. . Supports an understanding of the basis physics behind the phenomena. . Combines experimental data, numerical simulations and analytical modeling INDICE: Introduction. Experimental techniques.-Numerical simulations. Rigid penetrators. Plate perforation. Eroding penetrators. Defeat mechanisms.
