Results: timestep: 1 nanosecond time taken till model is invalid: 625 nanoseconds penetration velocity: 51 m/s velocity at current moment: 191 m/s penetration: 0.61 meters into the target length at current moment: 0.02 meters (basically 0) Why: This allows me to generate my own datasets to improve my own high level armor penetration formula (also its basically ansys armor pen in a formula) TODO: Resistive strength is a component that previous papers only found experimentally, there are some ways around this, but newer papers are behind a paywall
Web version of this coming up with a visualization, including my attempted formula and the Odermatt equation. Unfortunately, scratch doesn't allow links to papers. I made this program all thanks to a 2005 Fortran program by walter and williams (thanks for saving my brain), which was derived from a paper by walter and segletes, all forming from the original Alekseevskii-Tate equation around the 1960s.
