Ballistic model for the prediction of penetration depth and residual velocity in adobe: A new interpretation of the ballistic resistance of earthen masonry

In this paper, a new one-dimensional phenomenological model is developed for the assessment of the ballistic performance of Adobe. Adobe is a masonry largely spread in areas of the world involved in military operations. Addressing fundamental ballistic parameters such as residual velocity or penetra...
