In an industrial environment, there are many sources of projectiles, which are widely described in [SE 5 066] . As a result, projectiles can take on a variety of irregular shapes, depending on the initiating phenomenon. When it comes to characterizing the impact on a particular structure (structure, equipment), referred to in the remainder of this article as a target, we distinguish between two categories of projectiles: rigid or soft projectiles, as illustrated in figure 1 .
