The Design and Experimental Examination of a Model EPW

In this dissertation, a model EPW is designed on the basis of theoretical analyses. Shell material and parameters of a projectile body, such as slenderness ratio and CRH (caliber radius head), were studied. Strength check and aerodynamic properties of a projectile body were investigated. The experimental examination of a projectile on penetrating semi-infinite concrete medium was performed. The values from theoretical prediction have good coincidence with the experimental data. Young equation can be applied to estimate the penetration depth.
