Abstract:

In order to simulate the rupture process of Cartridge Case, material failure constitutive model is researched. Johnson-Cook plasticity model is given as an analytical function of equivalent plastic strain, strain rate, stress triaxiality. Johnson-Cook plasticity model and Johnson-Cook Damage initiation criterion are used to describe the plastic deformation and fracture of case for the pressure of power gas. Using the implementation of this stress-displacement and characteristic length, problem of the relationship between fracture energy and the characteristic length in finite element model is solved. Finally, the simulated model which includes barrel, case, bolt and locking rigidity spring is built. Comparing the fracture shape and position in simulated test and physical experiment, the results are very similar. It proves that the rupture process of Cartridge Case can be simulated by the constitutive model which is introduced in this paper.
