E-Book Overview
Ballistic Research Laboratory, 1990. – 76 p.
This report has three sections. The first section presents a comparison of results from the Carleton and Cookie Cutter functions, including both a mathematical proof and numerical demonstration of their relationships. The second section defines and develops the hybrid (Klopcic) function. Finally, the third section presents some numerical examples of simulations wihich demonstrate failures of the Carleton/CC functions and compares the behavior of the Klopcic function.
