Abstract

A fast algorithm is proposed to predict penetration trajectory in simulation of normal and oblique penetration of a rigid steel projectile into a limestone target. The algorithm is designed based on the idea of isolation between the projectile and the target. Corresponding factors of influence are considered, including analytical load model, cratering effect, free surface effect, and separation-reattachment phenomenon. Besides, a method of cavity ring is used to study the process of cavity expansion. Further, description of the projectile's three-dimensional gesture is presented. As a result, the algorithm is coded for fast calculation, named PENE3D. A series of cases with selected normal and oblique penetrations are simulated by the algorithm. The predictions agree with the results of tests, showing that the proposed algorithm is fast and effective in simulation of the penetration process and prediction of the penetration trajectory.
