摘要
Numerical investigation has been carried out on 2024 aluminium plate targets against 12.7 mm diameter hardened steel projectiles. The ballistic resistance of 1.27 mm thick target was studied against a spherical ball as well as the hemispherical and blunt nosed cylindrical projectiles. The simulations were performed on ABAQUS/Explicit finite element code by modelling the target as deformable and the projectiles as rigid three dimensional surface. The Johnson-Cook (JC) elasto-viscoplastic material model was employed to predict the flow and fracture behaviour of the target. The objective of the study was to investigate the efficiency of the JC model to numerically reproduce the maximum target deflection and peak impact force caused by three distinct shaped projectiles during target perforation. Three different sets of JC parameters calibrated by different authors [20,21] for 2024 aluminium alloy were considered to simulate the performance of the target against each projectile and the results thus obtained were compared and validated through available experiments [24]. The failure mode, deflection and impact force obtained have been noticed to have significant influence of the material models. The ballistic limit of 1.27 mm thick target was numerically computed against each of the three projectiles and validated through the Recht-Ipson model. The effective span and target thickness were also varied to investigate the influence on the maximum deflection and peak impact force.
