Abstract
In this paper, a simple analysis is developed to describe the hypervelocity cratering characteristics of semi-infinite targets by projectile. The comp arison between theoretical and experimental results are made for a spherica l projectile with the velocity 2-7km/s. It is found that the results given by the present model are in reasonably good agreement with experiments. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
