A dimensional analysis is used to obtain a semi-empirical equation for the perforation of mild steel plates struck by blunt or flat-ended projectiles. The formulation is based on the experimental observation that there are significant plastic deformations in the plates as well as a plugging (shear) failure at the impact points. The present equation correlates well with some recent low velocity experimental test results reported by the authors on mild steel plates.
