Week 10 Bullet penetrating a Bucket Challenge
Objective of challenge: To perform a Explicit dynamic analysis of a bullet penetrating into a bucket by using 3 different non linear materials for the bucket. Analyse their behaviour with velocity and conditions for bullet as per training video. To attach an animation for the three cases.
