Such approach is justified when initial stage of interaction is described, taking that concrete structure contacts quite thin aluminum body (from 3 to 8 mm thick). In this case one does not need to calculate contact boundaries thus simplifying significantly the objective and e...

Abstract Titanium alloy is an advanced lightweight armor material, widely used in armored vehicles. Experimental and simulation investigations on perforation of titanium plates impacted by armor-piercing projectiles were performed this study. The critical ricochet angle failure morphology 6 mm, 8 10 mm 12 subjected to obtained. Simultaneously, Numerical simulations the oblique then high-perform...

Abstract Based on the structure of traditional small caliber APDS (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot), a novel reactive core projectile (RCP) is proposed to improve damage capability against fuel tank. The penetration processes RCPs impacting partially filled tanks with different angles are investigated by numerical simulation, in which Powder Burn model adopted describe unique impact-induced del...

Abstract In order to study the anti-penetration performance of ceramic/aramid fiber/PE-UHMW composite armor, based on FEM-SPH coupling algorithm, SPH model is established for brittle ceramic materials simulate formation cone, crack propagation and fragmentation splash process. The failure mode aramid fiber PE-UHMW analyzed. influence different projectile velocities impact points armor are resul...
