Numerical simulation of ballistic impact on composite laminates [PDF]

International Journal of Impact Engineering, 2005
Abstract The paper reports experimental and numerical simulation of ballistic impact problems on thin composite laminated plates reinforced with Kevlar 29. Ballistic impact was imparted with simulated fragments designed in accordance with STANAG-2920 on plates of different thickness.

Simulation on a Composite Laminate Subjected to Ballistic Impact [PDF]

Advances in Physics Research, 2014
A finite element model was developed to study the damage mechanisms of composite laminates under high velocity impact conditions. Modified Hashin failure criteria were used for the fiber breakage prediction. Cohesive elements were defined between two adjacent layers in the target laminate for the prediction of delamination initiation and propagation ...

Ballistic Impact Simulation of Ceramic/Metal Armor Structures

Uluslararası Muhendislik Arastirma ve Gelistirme Dergisi, 2017
The study presents a comparative numerical investigation on ballistic performance of ceramic/metal armor structures. 2D axisymmetric numerical model was developed for ballistic impact simulations using LS-DYNA ® finite element software. The armor structures included combinations of boron carbide (B 4 C), Al6061-T6 and 4340 steel constituents.
