[1] We systematically conducted impact cratering experiments with sedimentary rocks at 0.8-7.1 km/s using various projectiles with 1.1-15 g/cm 3 in density. The crater diameter, depth, and volume are investigated and compared with the results for igneous rocks. Then, using the non-dimensional parameters, the normalized crater diameter p D , the normalized depth p d , the normalized volume p V , the target strength per specific energy p 3 , and the target and projectile density ratio p 4 , the scaling laws,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
