Dynamic Response of UHMW-PE Composite Armors under Ballistic Impact of Blunt Projectiles
To study the dynamic response of UHMW-PE composite armor under ballistic impact, two kinds of UHMW-PE composite armors are designed. Both of them are composed of UHMW-PE laminates and steel face sheets of Q235. The blunt projectile is made of 35CrMnSiA, with a cylinder shape. By numerical simulation...

description | To study the dynamic response of UHMW-PE composite armor under ballistic impact, two kinds of UHMW-PE composite armors are designed. Both of them are composed of UHMW-PE laminates and steel face sheets of Q235. The blunt projectile is made of 35CrMnSiA, with a cylinder shape. By numerical simulation, the dynamic response and deformation of composite armors are obtained under the penetration of the projectile. With the increase of impact velocity, the penetration depth increases nearly linearly, with a more severe tendency of swaging in the projectile. Then, experiments are carried out to validate the numerical simulation results. Based on a ballistic gun with a caliber of 14.5 mm, the projectiles are fired with a velocity from 680 m/s to 1300 m/s. The penetration into the composite armor can be divided into an initial shear plugging stage and the following bulging and delamination stage. Based on the theoretical analysis, the shear strength in the shear plugging stage can be estimated. Associated with typical experimental results, numerical simulation is suitable to predict the bulging characteristics of the composite armor. The failure mode of the composite armors under the impact of blunt projectiles is determined, and the failure mechanism is analyzed. The penetration results in the experiment agree well with the numerical simulation results, which validate the correctness of the numerical simulation models. The research results can be significant in the design of composite armor with UHMW-PE laminates. |
