Abstract:The ballistic simulation attempted in this work is among the most difficult as both the projectile and the target experience significant deformations. Traditionally these simulations have been performed using a Lagrangian approach, i.e. a deformable mesh with large mesh deformations. There are three often used techniques when studying ballistic problems with the Lagrangian method: remeshing (generally not available for 3D hexahedra meshes), the 'pilot hole' technique and material erosion. Because these techniq… Show more
