多轴向织物层合板层间剪切强度有限元分析与实验研究

用VIMP工艺制备了UD、0/45/-45、0/45/90/-45三种多轴向织物增强,四种厚度的GFRP层合板试样,采用短梁剪切实验考察了层间剪切强度和破坏模式。建立了GFRP层合板短梁剪切试样有限元模型,计算了内部层间剪应力分布。结合计算和实验结果分析表明层合板存在由宽度方向层间剪应力变化导致的自由边缘效应,含偏轴铺层的层合板更容易发生边缘开裂破坏。厚度相同时0/45/-45多轴向织物增强层合板的层间剪切强度最高。短梁剪切强度测试存在尺寸效应,随着厚度的增加,强度下降,样品波动系数增大。

为什么火箭弹会出现迎风偏？

要说坦克装甲用两层软硬不同的钢板复合,增强抗弹能力,没人会有怀疑。但是,要说空气可做复合装甲,依靠空气来防弹,恐怕不相信的人就多了。事实上,现代坦克装甲制作确有这种技术,这就是屏蔽装甲。所谓屏蔽装甲,就是装在坦克主装甲外并与主装甲有一定间距的附加屏蔽材料,用以提高主装甲对主心装药破甲弹的防护能力。     

德日争雄(下)——“黄鼠狼”Ⅱ型自行反坦克炮VS一式自行反坦克炮

生存能力的保障:装甲防护 “黄鼠狼”Ⅱ型与一式相比,攻击力明显要强得多。现在再来对比一下两者生存能力的指标——装甲防护能力。 与坦克相比,自行火炮的装甲防护能力并不太重要,这是因为坦克是进攻型武器,而自行火炮多是防守型武器。自行火炮的开发过程就是去除坦克上的大部分装甲,为换装大口径火炮节约出重量。但是,装甲的薄厚对生存能力的影响是最重要的。 装甲防护力最直接的指标是装甲的厚度,但被发现的几率对生存性也起着举足轻重的

横向运动板对长杆弹侵彻的偏转作用

弹体的攻角直接影响其侵彻能力,而横向运动板能使弹体发生偏转改变攻角,间接影响弹体的侵彻能力。在一定条件下,推导长杆弹在单层横向运动板作用下的偏转模型,并利用有限元仿真软件ANSYS／LS-rDYNA对长杆弹侵彻横向运动板的过程进行数值模拟。通过对偏转模型及仿真结果的分析,发现两者较为相符。研究结果显示：长杆弹侵彻横向运动板时,弹体会发生偏转,偏转的角速度先增后减,最后为0rad／s,此时偏转角最大;弹体速度方向也会发生偏转,其最终偏转角与弹体轴线的偏转角接近。     

Damage of multi-layer spaced metallic target plates impacted by radial layered PELE

Three different kinds of PELE (the penetrator with lateral efficiency) were launched by ballistic artillery to impact the multi-layer spaced metal target plates. The impact velocities of the projectiles were measured by the velocity measuring system. The damage degree and process of each layer of target plate impacted by the three kinds of projectiles were analyzed. The experimental results show that all the three kinds of projectiles have the effect of expanding holes on the multi-layer spaced metal target plates. For the normal structure PELE(without layered) with tungsten alloy jacket and the radial layered PELE with tungsten alloy jacket, the diameters of holes on the second layer of plates are 3.36 times and 3.76 times of the diameter of the projectile, respectively. For radial layered PELE with W/Zr-based amorphous composite jacket, due to the large number of tungsten wires dispersed after the impact, the diameter of the holes on the four-layer spaced plates can reach 2.4 times, 3.04 times, 5.36 times and 2.68 times of the diameter of the projectile. Besides, the normal structure PELE with tungsten alloy jacket and the radial layered PELE whit tungsten alloy jacket formed a large number of fragments impact marks on the third target plate. Although the number of fragments penetrating the third target plate is not as large as that of the normal structure PELE, the area of dispersion of fragments impact craters on the third target plate is larger by the radial layered PELE. The radial layered PELE with W/Zr-based amorphous composite jacket released a lot of heat energy due to the impact of the matrix material, and formed a large area of ablation marks on the last three target plates.

Interface defeat studies of long-rod projectile impacting on ceramic targets

The interface defeat phenomenon always occurs when a long-rod projectile impacting on the ceramic target with certain velocity, i.e., the projectile is forced to flow radially on the surface of ceramic plates for a period of time without significant penetration. Interface defeat has a direct effect upon the ballistic performance of the armor piercing projectile, which is studied numerically and theoretically at present. Firstly, by modeling the projectiles and ceramic targets with the SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) particles and Lagrange finite elements, the systematic numerical simulations on interface defeat are performed with the commercial finite element program AUTODYN. Three different responses, i.e., complete interface defeat, dwell and direct penetration, are reproduced in different types of ceramic targets (bare, buffered, radially confined and oblique). Furthermore, by adopting the validated numerical algorithms, constitutive models and the corresponding material parameters, the influences of projectile (material, diameter, nose shape), constitutive models of ceramic (JH-1 and JH-2 models), buffer and cover plate (thickness, constraints, material), as well as the prestress acted on the target (radial and hydrostatic) on the interface defeat (transition velocity and dwell time) are systematically investigated. Finally, based on the energy conservation approach and taking the strain rate effect of ceramic material into account, a modified model for predicting the upper limit of transition velocity is proposed and validated. The present work and derived conclusions can provide helpful reference for the design and optimization of both the long-rod projectile and ceramic armor.     

Experimental study on ceramic balls impact composite armor

Ceramic balls represent a new type of damaging element, and studies on their damaging power of composite armor are required for a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of various types of weapons. The goal of this study was to determine the impact of ϕ7 mm toughened Al₂O₃ ceramic balls on a composite ceramic/metal armor. The influences of the ceramic panel and the thickness of the metal backing material on the destroying power of the ceramic balls were first determined. Based on the agreement between numerical simulation, experimental results, and calculation models of the target plate resistance, the response mechanism of the ceramic balls was further analyzed. The results indicate that for a back plate of Q235 steel, with an increasing thickness of the ceramic panel, the piercing speed limit of the ceramic balls gradually increases and the diameter of the out-going hole on the metal back decreases. Different conditions were tested to assess the effects on the piercing speed, the diameter of the out-going hole, the micro-element stress, and the integrity of the recovered ceramic bowl.     

Determination of penetration depth at high velocity impact using finite element method and artificial neural network tools

Determination of ballistic performance of an armor solution is a complicated task and evolved significantly with the application of finite element methods(FEM) in this research field.The traditional armor design studies performed with FEM requires sophisticated procedures and intensive computational effort,therefore simpler and accurate numerical approaches are always worthwhile to decrease armor development time.This study aims to apply a hybrid method using FEM simulation and artificial neural network(ANN) analysis to approximate ballistic limit thickness for armor steels.To achieve this objective,a predictive model based on the artificial neural networks is developed to determine ballistic resistance of high hardness armor steels against 7.62 mm armor piercing ammunition.In this methodology,the FEM simulations are used to create training cases for Multilayer Perceptron(MLP) three layer networks.In order to validate FE simulation methodology,ballistic shot tests on 20 mm thickness target were performed according to standard Stanag 4569.Afterwards,the successfully trained ANN(s) is used to predict the ballistic limit thickness of 500 HB high hardness steel armor.Results show that even with limited number of data,FEM-ANN approach can be used to predict ballistic penetration depth with adequate accuracy.     

Statistical variability and fragility assessment of ballistic perforation of steel plates for 7.62 mm AP ammunition

The paper describes field test results of 7.62 × 51 mm M61 AP (armour piercing) ammunition fired into mild steel targets at an outdoor range. The targets varied from 10 mm to 32 mm in thickness. The tests recorded penetration depth, probability of perforation (i.e., complete penetration), muzzle and impact velocities, bullet mass, and plate yield strength and hardness. The measured penetration depth exhibited a variability of approximately ±12%. The paper then compared ballistic test results with predictive models of steel penetration depth and thickness to prevent perforation. Statistical parameters were derived for muzzle and impact velocity, bullet mass, plate thickness, plate hardness, and model error. A Monte-Carlo probabilistic analysis was then developed to estimate the probability of plate perforation of 7.62 mm M61 AP ammunition for a range of impact velocities, and for mild steels, and High Hardness Armour (HHA) plates. This perforation fragility analysis considered the random variability of impact velocity, bullet mass, plate thickness, plate hardness, and model error. Such a probabilistic analysis allows for reliability-based design, where, for example, the plate thickness with 95% reliability (i.e. only 1 in 20 shots will penetrate the wall) can be estimated knowing the probabilistic distribution of perforation. Hence, it was found that the plate thickness to ensure a low 5% probability of perforation needs to be 11–15% thicker than required to have a 50/50 chance of perforation for mild steel plates. Plates would need to be 20–30% thicker if probability of perforation is reduced to zero.
