Can any one Help? impacting concrete with steel projectile

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a thesis in civil engineering focused on the impact of steel projectiles, specifically bullets, on concrete barriers. Key factors influencing penetration depth include the concrete's aggregate composition, strength, steel content, and age. Participants suggest consulting published reports from military arsenals, as they routinely conduct similar research. There is also a mention of the importance of guidance from academic supervisors for preliminary reading. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for empirical data and foundational knowledge in this area of study.

Can anyone Help? "impacting concrete with steel projectile"

Dear all gentlemen ,

Can anyone help me ?

I'am doing my thesis in civil engineering in studying and mixing statistics with civil engineering with topic of " impacting concrete with steel projectile "

if we consider the projectile is bullet and concrete is barrier anyone has idea to find the distance which the bullet can enter inside this barrier or equation which can help me to derive ?

Just off the top of my head, I am inclined to think that this is going to depend strongly on what the aggregate is, what the strength of the concrete is, how much steel is in the concrete, and probably the age of the concrete.

I would suggest that you look for published reports from the Army arsenals. They are the sort of folks that do this type of work routinely.

This is almost certainly an area of interest to your supervisor, has s/he not given you some suggested preliminary reading?
 
Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'
I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
