Abstract
TARGET HARDNESS COMPARISONS WlTH THE lAEA UNYIELDING TARGET. Various types of targets were compared with respect to their hardness upon a cask-type object. A cylindrically shaped unit was impacted into soil, concrete and rigid targets at velocities ranging from 13 mls (44 ftls) to 27 mls (88 flfs). Experimental and analytical results were compared to bener understand the responses generated by different targets to a projectile.
