Soil Behavior at the Interface with a Rigid Projectile During Penetration

Abstract

The motion and state of soil at the interface with a penetrating rigid projectile is studied by numerical solution of the problem of a cylindrical projectile which expands and at the same time moves translationally along its axis in soil. The soil behavior is described using the model of a compressible elastoplastic medium with transition to a plastic state depending on the pressure in it. It is shown that a thin layer of soil at the interface with the projectile nose should be set in motion and move together with the projectile without sliding. An analysis is performed of the validity of using the dry friction law to determine the shear stresses on the projectile surface during penetration. The heat release in the soil layer at the interface due to internal friction and its possible effect on the penetration are estimated.
