Abstract
Results are presented from a study of the hypervelocity impact of steel and glass particles against barriers made of glass-textolite. Collision velocities ranged up to 11 km/sec. Several features of the process are discussed in relation to impact against elastoplastic materials. Several empirical relations established earlier for metals reliably describe the results for the composite.
