SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a mathematical model to evaluate bullet deflection in relation to ballistic armor. The user, Dave, seeks assistance in formulating a mathematical equation that incorporates variables such as velocity, angle, projectile weight, and target material. He expresses confidence in his patents but acknowledges a lack of mathematical skills to substantiate his theories. The conversation highlights the importance of a structured approach to modeling ballistic impacts for patent validation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics principles related to projectile motion
  • Familiarity with ballistic armor materials and their properties
  • Knowledge of mathematical modeling techniques
  • Experience with variables and equations in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research ballistic modeling software such as MATLAB or Simulink
  • Learn about the physics of projectile motion and impact dynamics
  • Study mathematical equations used in ballistics, including the equations of motion
  • Explore resources on creating simulations for ballistic tests
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for inventors, engineers, and researchers involved in ballistic armor development, as well as anyone interested in the mathematical modeling of projectile impacts.

Hello, thanks for even stopping in here...

My Q: (and beggin' for help ;/ )

Is there a basic mathematical "sentence", where you can "plug in" variables, ie- Vel / angle / projectile weight/ target impacted (makeup) ,etc?

I, and this will probably make you laugh, am TERRIBLE @ math. I do believe in myself enough (Im 45 yrs old) to know that the two patents I hold on ballistic armor are correct & will work, I just wish I knew how to do the math.

Maybe I just need to get a math pro to simply see the patent and perhaps discern how to put together a mathematical equation?

The reason I ask is that I am seeking assistance and its a question, or a bunch of questions that will come up (ie)- wheres your mathematical model to prove out your theory?

So, bottom line, HELP? Best Dave

You don't seem to have asked a specific question yet.. So.. Tell us about the armor?
