Abstract

Based on a finite element analysis, the performance of a flying cross bar in protecting a long-rod penetrator increases as the impact location moves toward the head of the penetrator. It also increases as the impact angle approaches right angle. The optimal impact location along the span direction of the bar varies depending on the bar diameter.
