Numerical and analytical simulation of ballistic projectile penetration due to high velocity impact on ceramic target

Analytical and Numerical Consideration of Projectile Density Effect on Its Penetration Ability in Alumina Armor

In this paper, penetration of high velocity impact of 4340 steel and tungsten carbide projectiles with specific shapes in to ceramic armor that includes 10 mm alumina (95%) is considered analytically and simulated with Ls-Dyna software. Bernoulli equation used to consider the penetration velocity in ceramics, shows that the penetration is better and easier by increasing projectile density. The ...

Analytical Approach to Ballistic Dispersion of Projectile Weapons Based on Variant Launch Velocity

Numerical analysis of low velocity impact on ceramic-metal-composite targets

In the present paper, the problem of low velocity impact of plates made from different configurations of ceramic, aluminum, steel and composite (S-glass polyester) is analyzed numerically using  Abaqus finite element software. The projectile is assumed to be a rigid body with a hemispherical head. Also, for ceramic layers, Holmquist constitutive model, for aluminum and steel layers, Johnson Coo...
