Experimental and Computational Research into High-Speed Interaction Between Projectile and Split Target

The paper presents the methodology elaboration for the investigation of a high-speed impact interaction between the projectile and a split target. The impact interaction speed ranges between 1500 and 2500 m/s. The split target consisting of a polymethyl methacrylate target and a witness target made of D16 aluminum alloy, is placed at a 60 mm distance from the latter. Using mathematical simulation, all effects that occur during the high-speed impact interaction, are analyzed more precisely.
