“…7,[10][11][12]27 There are two different methods available to predict the delamination shape and residual velocity of the projectile such as numerical methods 9,11,13,17,26,28 and analytical methods. 1,5,7,8,10,[14][15][16]20,24,26,[29][30][31] Mostly analytical methods are based upon the energy method 7,8,10,[14][15][16][17]20,24,31,32 while some depend on elasticity method. 1,5,21,24,33 Guoqi et al 1 presented an analytical model based on elasticity approach considering energy absorbed by indentation, bulging, delamination, fiber failure, and friction, which was validated with experimental data.…”
