Semi-theoretical analyses of the concrete plate perforated by a rigid projectile

Based on the three-stage perforation model, a semi-theoretical analysis is conducted for the ballistic performances of a rigid kinetic projectile impacting on concrete plates. By introducing the projectile resistance coefficients, dimensionless formulae are proposed for depth of penetration (DOP), perforation limit thickness, ballistic limit velocity, residual velocity and perforation ratio, with the projectile nosed geometries and projectile-target interfacial friction taken into account. Based on the proposed formula for DOP and lots of penetration tests data of normal and high strength concrete targets, a new expression is obtained for target strength parameter. By comparisons between the results of the proposed formulae and existing empirical formulae and large amount of projectile penetration or perforation tests data for monolithic and segmented concrete targets, the validations of the proposed formulae are verified. It is found that the projectile-target interfacial friction can be neglected in the predictions of characteristic ballistic parameters. The dimensionless DOP for low-to-mid speed impacts of non-flat nosed projectiles increases almost linearly with the impact factor by a coefficient of 2/(πS). The anti-perforation ability of the multilayered concrete plates is dependent on both the target plate thickness and the projectile impact velocity. The variation range of the perforation ratio is 1–3.5 for concrete targets.

Oblique Perforation of Thick Metallic Plates by Rigid Projectiles

Oblique perforation of thick metallic plates by rigid projectiles with various nose shapes is studied in this paper. Two perforation mechanisms, i.e., the hole enlargement for a sharp projectile nose and the plugging formation for a blunt projectile nose, are considered in the proposed analytical model. It is shown that the perforation of a thick plate is dominated by several non-dimensional numbers, i.e., the impact function, the geometry function of projectile, the non-dimensional thickness of target and the impact obliquity. Explicit formulae are obtained to predict the ballistic limit, residual velocity and directional change for the oblique perforation of thick metallic plates. The proposed model is able to predict the critical condition for the occurrence of ricochet. The proposed model is validated by comparing the predictions with other existing models and independent experimental data.The English text was polished by Keren Wang

为获得椭圆截面截卵形刚性弹体正贯穿加筋板的剩余速度，根据椭圆截面弹体贯穿靶板的破坏特征，认为贯穿过程中靶板的能量耗散方式主要为塞块剪切变形功与塞块动能、扩孔塑性变形功、花瓣动力功、花瓣弯曲变形功、靶板整体凹陷变形功、加强筋侧向凹陷变形功。推导了每种能量计算方法，计算中定量考虑了靶板扩孔、花瓣弯曲、凹陷变形的应变率效应。根据能量守恒关系，得到了椭圆截面弹体剩余速度和弹道极限速度预测公式。并通过实验结果对模型进行了验证。结果表明:考虑靶板应变硬化、应变率效应的贯穿模型可以准确预测弹体剩余速度；随着椭圆截面弹体长短轴之比的增大，靶板的弹道极限速度近似线性增大；长短轴之比小于3时，加筋板的主要耗能为花瓣弯曲变形能、整体凹陷变形能。

On the deep penetration and plate perforation by rigid projectiles

We present results of a large number of 2D numerical simulations in which we investigated various aspects in the deep penetration of rigid short projectiles into semi-infinite targets, as well as their perforation through thin metallic plates. In particular, we analyze the effect of the entrance phase on the penetration characteristics of short ogive and spherical nosed projectiles. The second issue which we investigate here concerns the perforation of metallic plates by sharp nosed projectiles. Our simulation results show that a simple model, which is based on energy conservation, accounts for the residual velocities when the target is penetrated by the ductile hole enlargement process. In addition, we define a new concept, the effective resisting stress which the plate exerts on the projectile during perforation. We show that it has some valuable insights for the process of perforation and we perform a parametric study to understand its dependence on various parameters. This effective stress, which determines the ballistic limit velocity of the projectile, depends on the strength of the plate, as well as on its thickness, as we show here.

Penetration force measurement of thin plates by laser doppler anemometry

An experimental method is developed by applying laser-Doppler anemometry (LDA) to measure the velocity history of a projectile impact on a target. The force history was obtained by assuming the projectile to be rigid and by differentiating a polynomial which best fitted the obtained velocity data. This method was then applied to the impact of a hemispherically tipped striker on 1-mm thick aluminum plates. The initial velocity of the projectile ranged from several m/s to 93.5 m/s. When these velocities were low enough not to produce cracks on the plate, double-force peaks were observed in each test, and the value corresponding to the higher peak was proportional to the initial velocity of the projectile. Further, this peak force occurred when the projectile just started to rebound, and spring-back behavior of the plate always occurred. Once the cracks on the target started to form, the peak impact force dropped, and the double-peak phenomenon disappeared. It was also found that the peak force was at approximately the same level for impact speeds above the ballistic limit of the plate. On the other hand, a power law was found to perfectly fit the relationship between the absorbed kinetic energy and the initial velocity of the projectile when it was lower than the ballistic limit.     

Failure criteria with unilateral conditions for simulation of plate perforation

Finite element analysis of plate perforation is performed using a thermoelastic–thermoviscoplastic constitutive model and two uncoupled damage criteria with unilateral conditions. The first criterion is based on continuum damage mechanics, while the second is the Cockcroft–Latham criterion. Fracture is assumed to occur at a critical damage, and crack propagation is modelled with element erosion. The identification of the material parameters is based on inverse modelling of a uniaxial tension test. The constitutive model and damage criteria are applied in explicit finite element analysis of the perforation of a 12 mm thick steel plate struck by a blunt projectile in the sub-ordinance velocity regime. The results show the importance of the unilateral conditions in obtaining accurate prediction of the adiabatic shear banding process. The two fracture criteria have comparable dependence on the stress triaxiality and the Lode parameter when the microcrack-closure parameter is set to zero in the criterion based on continuum damage mechanics, and give similar failure mode and ballistic limit in the plate perforation problem.     

On the ballistic resistance of double-layered steel plates: An experimental and numerical investigation

Civil and military ballistic protection systems often consist of thin, high-strength steel plates. Such plates may either be monolithic or layered with or without spacing. The idea of using layered plates instead of a monolithic one in order to increase the ballistic perforation resistance is not new, and the effect of using targets made up of several thinner plates has been investigated in the literature for a long time. However, results by various authors are contradicting and detailed experimental and numerical work is still required.In the present study, the ballistic perforation resistance of double-layered steel plates impacted by blunt and ogival projectiles was investigated both experimentally and numerically. In the tests, 12 mm thick (monolithic or layered) targets of Weldox 700 E were impacted using a gas-gun at sub-ordnance velocity, and the ballistic limit velocity of the different target combinations was obtained. In general, good agreement was obtained between the numerical simulations and the experimental results. It was found that in the case of blunt projectiles a large gain in the ballistic limit is offered by double-layered systems. These advantages seem to disappear when ogival projectiles are used. However, the main conclusion from both the experimental and numerical studies is that the overall protection level, i.e. the minimum ballistic limit velocity obtained independently of projectile nose shape, seems to increase significantly by double-layering the target.

Experimental Study on the Perforation Process of 5754-H111 and 6082-T6 Aluminium Plates Subjected to Normal Impact by Conical,Hemispherical and Blunt Projectiles

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the perforation behaviour of 5754-H111 and 6082-T6 aluminium alloys. The mechanical response of these materials has been characterized in compression with strain rates in the range of $10^{-3}~s^{-1} < \dot {\varepsilon } < 5 \cdot 10^{3}~s^{-1}$ . Moreover, penetration tests have been conducted on 5754-H111 and 6082-T6 plates of $4~mm$ thickness using conical, hemispherical and blunt projectiles. The perforation experiments covered impact velocities in the range of $50~m/s < V_{0} < 200~m/s$ . The initial and residual velocities of the projectile were measured and the ballistic limit velocity obtained for the two aluminium alloys for the different nose shapes. Failure mode and post-mortem deflection of the plates have been examined and the perforation mechanisms associated to each projectile/target configuration investigated. It has been shown that the energy absorption capacity of the impacted plates is the result of the collective role played by target material behaviour, projectile nose shape and impact velocity in the penetration mechanisms.

An investigation of oblique perforation of metallic plates by projectiles

An experimental and analytical study was performed on the mechanics of oblique perforation of metallic plates by projectiles. The purpose was to determine the dependence of the velocity drop on the angle of impact for prescribed mechanical and physical properties of the projectile and the target plate. The ballistic experiments were carried out with 0.22-in.-caliber lead bullets on target plates of commercially pure aluminum and an aluminum alloy which ranged from 2.0 to 6.0 mm in thickness. Transient measurements were taken which included high-speed photographs of the perforation process. The theoretical model that had been developed previously by the authors for the case of normal perforation was modified to include the effects of the angle of impact. The experimental observations for the present test conditions indicate that the main modification to the analysis is the use of the total projectile path as the effective target-plate thickness. Reasonably good agreement between the experimental and theoretical results was obtained.
