The Effects of Projectile Size on Crater Formation and Spallation in Experimental Impact Cratering
Abstract
Impact cratering experiments show that projectile size unexpectedly increases cratering efficiency. This is believed to be due to the effect of strain rate decrease, pressure pulse duration, and the Weibull effect on spallation.
