 Abstract Results of studying the normal impact of small-diameter steel spheres on the surface of semi-infinite targets made of porous copper are reported. Characteristics of craters being formed are compared with results of other investigations of the impact on high-porosity targets. New experimental data form the basis for continuing these studies and can be incorporated into models that describe a high-velocity impact on porous media. |
