Measuring impact force?
Measuring impact force?
(OP)
To test rounds ( door breaching rounds), I am thinking about firing at mild steel and aluminum plates to see the deformation on different door breaching rounds.
I just want to know what rounds performs better. Building full set of doors cost too much..
I am wondering whether measuring deformation is good enough or not.. depth or hole size..
Better ideas anyone?

RE: Measuring impact force?
Nonetheless, deformation is generally more of interest for armor designers, since they want to minimize secondary damage. Antiarmor guys are generally more interested in penetration, ala what achieves V50 (50% probability of penetration) in rolled homogeneous armor. see MIL-STD-376 as reference.
Note that you'll need to determine the armor-like properties of the "door" to allow users to do meaningful comparisons, but I've not researched what's required there.
