Numerical Simulations of the Perforation in Metal Plates with Different Conical-Nosed Projectiles

Abstract:

Numerical simulations with ABAQUS/Explicit into which Johnson-Cook constitutive relation is incorporated, are performed to study the perforation of Weldox 460E steel plates struck normally by conical-nosed projectiles with different cone angles. Different failure modes and perforation process are obtained. Numerical results are found to be in good agreement with available test data. It is revealed that with increasing cone angle, the failure modes of metal plates become to shear plugging from ductile hole enlargement, and the ballistic limits decrease with that. The conclusions are helpful for the design of protective structures.
