I know that this subject is very complicated, and that is why I want to know a way to calculate contact given material properties, that way I can find out if the plate will withstand the pressure from a bullet. There are three different scenarios: No indentation and bullet does not leave a mark...
Well I know the dimensions of the bullet and plate, like radius, length and width, height of the plate. I could also know some elastic properties of the plate if I find a table that would give me those properties as a material.
The main thing I want to know if there is some way to calculate the...
I am interested to know if there is possible to find out the contact time by a colliding object into a plate, given material properties? My object is to find out the pressure on a plate using force acting on an area.
What i know:
Mass of both projectile and target plate
Impact velocity...
