Oblique impact by a spherical solid on a metal plate

The results of experimental studies of oblique impact by a spherical solid on a plane metal plate are presented. Plates made of AMTsM (plastic) and D16AT (rigid) alloys were used to determine the influence of the material characteristics on the impact aftereffects. The dependence of the ballistic limit on the angle of the impact velocity vector inclination to the plate plane was determined. The relationship between the ballistic limits of the oblique and normal impacts on the plate is established. The dependence of the ball motion trajectory refraction angles after collision with the plate on the ratio of the initial velocity to the ballistic impact is determined.
