Numerical Simulations of Projectile Nose Angle Effect in Ballistic Perforation of Double-Layered Steel Plates

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to study the ballistic perforation resistance of double-layered steel plates subjected to impact by conical projectiles with different nose angles. Based on nonlinear finite element theory, different rigid projectiles vertically penetrating into double-layered Weldox 460E steel plates are simulated with LS-DYNA code. The configurations in the penetration process and failure modes of steel plates are given. The results of monolithic and layered targets are studied and compared for projectiles with different nose angles. It is revealed that compared to the monolithic plate, the double layer configuration is able to improve the ballistic limit for the target under impact by blunt-nose projectiles, and for sharp-nose projectiles the double layer configuration obviously weakens the ballistic resistance.
