Progress in Numerical Studies of KE Projectile into Concrete with Mass Loss

Abstract:

A review on the numerical studies about KE(kinetic energy) penetrator into concrete target with mass loss is presented. There are two main ways to study the mass loss in numerical simulation: finite-element method and abrasion iterative algorithm. For each method, detailed introduction is given at home and abroad. A summary of their research, including their advantages and disadvantages, is described. Finally, some research proposals are given for further study.
