Default Re: Math formulas

All these formulas are empirical models because it is extremely difficult to design a theoretical model describing the effects of penetration (in relation with the modern warheads and synthetic armor plating).

The principle scientific field which is used for the analysis of the modern ballistic research is the hydrodynamic behaviour (fluid mechanics) of the materials during a hyper-velocity penetration.
