Abstract

We present a brief survey of the influence of the dynamic behavior of materials on the stationary penetration of long rods into thick plates at elevated velocities. Our attention is mainly focused on the analysis of the influence of the resistance of the material to plastic flow, strain rate, temperature effects, compressibility, and the boundaries of interacting bodies on the process of penetration. We also formulate basic directions of subsequent investigations.
