Micro Abstract:
Numerical simulations in LS-DYNA are used for a qualitative investigation, as measurement precision limits the determination of projectile nutation under oblique impact. The parabolic flight trajectory causes nutation in spin-stabilised projectiles. They rotate at an angle contained between the inertial axis and the relative velocity vector. Especially at the critical angle, where the projectile no longer penetrates but ricochets, influential parameters need to be determined.
