Development of an Advanced Composite Material Model Suitable for Blast and Ballistic Impact Simulations

摘要

A robust composite progressive failure model has been successfully developed to account for the strain-rate and pressure dependent behavior of composite materials subjected to high velocity ballistic impact. This composite failure model has been used to quantify the ballistic impact behavior of various composite panels with reasonable accuracy. Application of the current composite model for designing lightweight composite armor with various three dimensional fiber architectures is under progress.
