Effect of distance from the support on the penetration mechanism of clamped circular polycarbonate armor plates

A 1.91-mm thick circular polycarbonate plate of 115mm diameter was impacted by a spherical steel projectile of 6.98mm diameter at its center. Subsequent impacts were made at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50mm radii of the plate. Dent dimensions for the damaged plate were measured using optical microscope. For...
