Simulation Analysis for Supercavitation Projectiles Penetrating into Metal Targets

Abstract:

The process of the supercavitation projectile penetrating into metal targets was simulated by using the dynamic analysis software ANSYS/LS-DYNA, and the deformation、breakage and forces on the body in different initial velocities and the penetration depth were discussed. Analysis results show that there are two peaks of resistance and the velocities is variety almost in linear attenuation when the cone part of the projectile is moving through contacted with the target plate, which provides references for the structure and parameters design of the supercavitation projectile.
