Research abstract
A PROGRAM IS PROPOSED WHICH EXPLOITS HIGHLY EXOTHERMIC SOLID STATE REACTIONS IN AN EFFORT TO (A) ENHANCE LETHAILITY AND (B) STUDY TARGET MATERIAL(S) PERFORMANCE AND FAILURE MECHANISM(S) OF PENETRATION DURING HYPERVELOCITY IMPACT AND PENETRATION. THE EFFORT WILL INVOLVE HIGH DENSITY PELLETS OF METAL POWDERS CAPABLE OF SHOCK IGNITION AND RAPID EXOTHERMIC CONVERSION INTO INTERMETALLIC SOLIDS. TARGET AND PENETRATOR INTERACTIONS WILL BE INVESTAGED TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES AND HIGH INTERNAL GAS PRESSURES ON PENETRATOR AND TARGET MATERIALS.
