On the Inertia Term of Projectile's Penetration Resistance by Yu Shan, Haijun Wu, Fenglei Huang, Jinzhu Li

“…For the ogive-nose projectile with CRH of 3, when the target is aluminum, steel, or other metals, the threshold velocity for the constant resistance is at least 1258 m/s; when the target is concrete, rock, or other brittle materials, if the velocity of the projectile is greater than 400 m/s or so, the damage number would be very large, and the penetration resistance would clearly depend on the projectile’s velocity. …”
