Stainless steel tubes were packed with aluminum foams of two different densities, 0.15g/cm3 and 0.41g/cm3. These tubes were penetrated by projectiles (pointed end) to determine their perforation energy. The perforation energy of these tubes was compared to the perforation energy of a coreless stainl...
