Experimental Investigation of the Crater Caused by Hypervelocity Rod Projectile Impacting on Rocks
Shock and Vibration, 2020 To investigate the cratering effects of hypervelocity rod projectile impacting on rocks, a two-stage light gas gun was used to carry out 10 groups of small-scale experiments, whose velocity ranges from 1.5 km/s to 4.1 km/s.
