Numerical simulation of dynamic large deformation and fracture damage for solid armature in electromagnetic railgun

The design of solid armature of railgun should take full account of its operating conditions and material properties because the armature is subjected to dynamic loading conditions and experiences a complicated electrical, thermal and mechanical process in the interior ballistic cycle. In this paper present, we first introduced a multi-physical field model of railgun, followed by several examples to investigate the launching process. Especially, we used the explicit finite element method, in which material nonlinearity and geometric nonlinearity were accounted, to investigate the deform behaviors of solid armature. The results show that the dynamic mechanical process of armature is dependent on the armature geometry, material and exciting electric current. By the numerical simulation, the understanding of the fracture mechanism of solid armature was deepened.     

Fragment spatial distribution of prismatic casing under internal explosive loading

Non-cylindrical casings filled with explosives have undergone rapid development in warhead design and explosion control. The fragment spatial distribution of prismatic casings is more complex than that of traditional cylindrical casings. In this study, numerical and experimental investigations into the fragment spatial distribution of a prismatic casing were conducted. A new numerical method, which adds the Lagrangian marker points to the Eulerian grid, was proposed to track the multi-material interfaces and material dynamic fractures. Physical quantity mappings between the Lagrangian marker points and Eulerian grid were achieved by their topological relationship. Thereafter, the fragment spatial distributions of the prismatic casing with different fragment sizes, fragment shapes, and casing geometries were obtained using the numerical method. Moreover, fragment spatial distribution experiments were conducted on the prismatic casing with different fragment sizes and shapes, and the experimental data were compared with the numerical results. The effects of the fragment and casing geometry on the fragment spatial distributions were determined by analyzing the numerical results and experimental data. Finally, a formula including the casing geometry parameters was fitted to predict the fragment spatial distribution of the prismatic casing under internal explosive loading.
