Abstract

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the ballistic performance of monolithic, double-, and triple-layered metallic plates impacted by a 6.1-mm projectile at the velocity of 500 m/s. The behaviour of materials is described by elastic–plastic model with a deterministic failure concept. The modified Lagrangian method for penetration and perforation problems is used. All the finite-element simulations are conducted with non-commercial 2D computer code Impact. A good agreement in terms of penetration depth of projectile was obtained between experiment and calculation. We obtained computed values of perforation duration of targets, residual projectiles velocity, damage level, hole diameter, and time of nucleation foci destruction. It was found by numerical modelling that ballistic performance for some multi-layered plates was greater for monolithic plates ones. An attempt to clarify this effect was performed in the chapter.
