Numerical evaluation of the behavior of a plate on impact with a rigid projectile using Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics method

Abstract

Modern materials strength calculations, even if applied to classical problems of the theory of elasticity or plasticity, cannot be conceived without the use of numerical calculation methods and material models. This situation is a direct consequence of the progress made in the field of computers, both in the field of hardware and software. This article presents the numerical evaluation of the behavior of a plate on impact with a rigid projectile using Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics method and is shown the evolution of the impact with its effects (deformation with perforation of the plate). Also, an analize of the varıatıon of the kinetic energy of the bullet and bullet velocity over time are presented.
