The U.S. Army relies on commercial electric matches as an ignition source for a variety of pyrotechnic simulators and training devices. In many instances these matches are sole source and are selected at the beginning of the qualification program for a pyrotechnic item. If the sole source item becomes unavailable or if it is desired to replace it with another, expensive testing has to be undertaken with the pyrotechnic item ...

Study of Constitutive Models for Concrete Penetration Analysis

DEC 96

43 pages

Authors: Vladimir M. Gold; ARMY ARMAMENT RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING CENTER PICATINNY ARSENAL N J

Three-dimensional axisymmetric calculation of penetration of concrete targets have been conducted with the CALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian) code. All the constitutive models studied accounted for the compressibility of concrete and employed either solid or porous equation of state models; the influence of these models on the penetration calculations is studied and presented. This size of the plastic zone in front of the penetrator is estimated from the calculations for both ...
