Numerical Analysis of Deformation and Failure of Penetration into Concrete Target by Projectile

Abstract:

Penetration is an important topic in the military and protection engineering field. Based on *MAT_PLASTIC_KINEMATIC of LS-DYNA program, this report studies effects of failure strain of the material parameters on structure of penetrating projectile. By establishing a group of numerical models about 45 steel hemispherical projectile penetrating semi-infinite concrete targets, this research aimed at analyzing effects of different failure strain values related to the destruction of the internal bracket structures of this projectile. At the same time, it studied the criterion of failure on finite dynamic program. The numerical results show that the use of failure strain in this model can well simulate damage of internal bracket structures of the projectile. Test was carried on based on this conclusion, which showed that bracket plate is subjected to shear failure in process of penetration, and numerical simulation was consistent with the experimental results.
