A Mathematical Model for Assessing Weapons Effects from Gelatin Penetration by Spheres

A mathematical model is derived by dimensional analysis for the penetration of 20% gelatin gel by spheres. The model, which accounts for inertia and viscosity of the gel, is a generalized form of Resal's Law. The fitted results are found to agree with data on actual gel penetration by spheres.
