Cavity expansion in elastoplastic solids and Its applications to the penetration and perforation by armor-piercing and kinetic projectiles

Cavitation pressures describe how solid materials resist the formation and enlargement of holes caused by armor-piercing and kinetic projectiles. The research focuses on developing analytical models to predict the penetration depths or the minimum velocities required for full perforation of protective targets.
