Figure 14: 9x21mm FMJ round nose impact. Comparison between maximum cavity width: experimental results (above) and simulation (below) at escape time. Time = 1.6 ms (above) and 2.1 ms (below). The resolution of the checkered ruler is 20 mm.

Figure 15: 9x21mm FMJ round nose impact. Comparison between experimental results (above) and simulation (below). Evolution of the bullet’s kinematics during the penetration superimposed to the temporary cavity captured at escape time. The resolution of the checkered ruler is 20 mm.

Figure 16: 9x21mm FMJ round-nose penetration as a function of time. Comparison between experimental results (red line) and simulation (blue line).
