Computer Simulation of Cylindrical Shell Penetrated by Rigid Projectile

Article Preview

Abstract:

Computer simulation of cylindrical shell subject to lateral impact by rigid projectile is carried out. The effects of three kinds of typical rigid projectiles, geometric parameters of cylindrical shell and constraint conditions on critical speed are analyzed. The results indicate that the shape of projectile and size of cylindrical shell have a great influence on penetration, and the tapered projectile has a minimum critical speed. The influence of constraint conditions on penetration has a great relationship with thickness of cylindrical shells; energy distribution varies with different thickness of cylindrical shells.
