This book comprehensively discusses
essential aspects of terminal ballistics, combining experimental data,
numerical simulations and analytical modeling. Employing a unique approach to
numerical simulations as a measure of sensitivity for the major physical
parameters, the new edition also includes the following features: new figures
to better illustrate the problems discussed; improved explanations for the
equation of state of a solid and for the cavity expansion process; new data
concerning the Kolsky bar test; and a discussion of analytical modeling for the
hole diameter in a thin metallic plate impacted by a shaped charge jet. The
section on thick concrete targets penetrated by rigid projectiles has now been
expanded to include the latest findings, and two new sections have been added:

one on a novel approach to the perforation of thin concrete slabs, and one on
testing the failure of thin metallic plates using a hydrodynamic ram.
