Numerical Simulation Analysis for Anti-Penetration of Multilayer Ceramic Composite

Abstract:

Use ANSYS / LS-DYNA software to build a numerical model for studying influence of projectile’s penetration velocity, penetration angle and ceramic/metal composite structure on protective capacity of multilayer ceramic composite. The results showed that velocity loss range of projectile running through the multilayer ceramic composite decreased with initial penetration velocity of projectile increased and that the shape of bullet hole showed growing asymmetry with penetration angle increased. Anti-penetration capacity of multilayer ceramic composite protective structure is better than that of single-layer ceramic composite protective structure or single-layer homogeneous steel structure with equal quality.
