After landing on the target, the kinetic energy can be dissipated within the fragment if it consists of many elements (as in the example of the Kerttu-Ender fragment, Fig. 2). If it consists of only a few elements, as is the case for most fragments traveling longer distances, the kinetic energy is dissipated by rolling. In the case of impact fragm…
