Abstract

The deep penetration of a thin body with a blunt nose and rear into a low‐strength medium is explored. The motion of the body is described by a system of autonomous integrodifferential equations using the physical model of a separated asymmetric flow over the body and the local‐interaction method. An analytical calculation of the Lyapunov stability boundary for straight‐line motion is performed for bodies with a parabolic meridian. The dependences of the dynamic stability of the body on various parameters are studied numerically. Curved motion paths are constructed in the region of instability, and the classification of paths proposed in previous studies of the motion of pointed bodies is confirmed. It is shown that an reverse ejection is possible when a blunt impactor enters a semi‐infinite target. It is established that there is a fundamental possibility of attaining a path close to a specified one and that there is a weak dependence of motion characteristics with a developed separation on the separation angle. Examples are given of calculations of the evolution of the lateral load, the transverse force and moment, and the strength margin of the body using the theory of dynamic bending of a nonuniform rod.
