Modeling and Simulation of Ceramic Arrays to Improve Ballaistic Performance

Abstract

Quarter-symmetric model is used in AutoDyn to simulate DoP experiments on aluminum targets and ceramic-faced aluminum targets with .30cal AP M2 projectile using SPH elements. Model validation runs were conducted based on the DoP experiments described in reference - ARL-TR-2219, 2000. Boundary conditions were modified in order to achieve better data agreement Further analysis will be conducted to determine the effect of material properties on DoP.
