Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We discuss a common misunderstanding made by many authors, regarding their data analysis for blunt rigid projectiles perforating thin metallic plates. The problem with their analysis is that they use the empirical relation of Lambert and Jonas (1976), which was suggested for eroding projectiles penetrating thick plates. Instead, they should use the physics-based model of Recht and Ipson (1963) to account for their data. The paper of Wu et al. (2023) is one of these works, and we use their ballistics results to demonstrate the benefits of the R-I model to account for their data.
