Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of numerical simulation of shaped charge penetrators, and in particular to a simulation method for the secondary damage effect of the deflagration reaction of an active shaped charge penetrator. Background Art

[0002] The active shaped charge penetrator can penetrate the target with its own kinetic energy and produce a violent deflagration reaction during the process of penetrating or entering the target, showing a powerful aftereffect damage effect on the target. Usually, the active material of its liner (including the matrix material and the active filler) has strong inertness, but under strong impact, the matrix material will undergo a deflagration reaction with the active filler. Different from traditional energetic materials such as explosives and propellants, the active material has an obvious reaction delay characteristic. After being subjected to impact loading during the forming process, the active shaped charge penetrator is activated, but only local chemical reactions occur at some hot spots. These local chemical reactions need to cause the reaction of the surrounding active material through heat conduction and gradually cause the conversion of local chemical reactions to the overall deflagration reaction. However, the rate of heat conduction is significantly slower than the forming behavior of the active shaped charge penetrator, resulting in insignificant reactions during the forming process of the shaped charge penetrator, even during the movement and penetration process of the active shaped charge penetrator. Only after heat conduction causes the overall reaction and reaches the delay time of the active material, the active shaped charge penetrator will instantaneously undergo a violent deflagration reaction. Based on this characteristic, the active material model needs to consider the mechanical properties of the active material and the reaction energy release characteristics of the material, which makes the research on this deflagration reaction more complex.

[0003] Regarding the fact that the above-mentioned active shaped charge penetrator will undergo a violent deflagration reaction after a period of time under explosive loading, currently, domestic and foreign scholars generally have two methods for the numerical simulation of the deflagration reaction of the active shaped charge penetrator: one is not to consider the deflagration reaction of the active material and regard the active material as an inert material, and the Johnson-Cook material model is often used to describe it. However, since the active penetrator will be activated and react under strong dynamic loading conditions, this method cannot accurately describe the state of the active material. The other is to consider the deflagration reaction of the active material. Compared with traditional high-energy explosives, the chemical reaction duration is long and the combustion rate is slow when the active material releases chemical energy. The Powder Burn material model can well describe the reaction characteristics of the active material, but the parameter acquisition of the PowderBurn material model requires a large number of experiments and is difficult to obtain.

[0004] Generally speaking, in the prior art, the overall reaction of the active shaped charge penetrator is simulated, and the required parameters are relatively complex. At the same time, it cannot accurately reflect the secondary damage effect (deflagration reaction) of the active shaped charge penetrator. There is currently a lack of a simple and direct simulation method to accurately obtain the numerical value of the secondary damage effect of the shaped charge penetrator. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for simulating the secondary damage effect of the deflagration reaction of an active shaped charge penetrator. Based on the AUTODYN platform of nonlinear dynamics analysis software, through the numerical simulation study of the damage of an aluminum target with a prefabricated hole by the penetration of an active shaped charge penetrator into a steel-aluminum spaced target and the explosion reaction of TNT, the numerical value of the secondary damage effect of the shaped charge penetrator can be obtained more accurately.

The SPH algorithm essentially belongs to the Lagrange algorithm, can effectively track the interface of materials, has no mesh entanglement in the calculation process, does not require setting erosion, and can simulate complex problems such as large deformation. Therefore, the present invention uses the SPH algorithm to simulate the forming process of the shaped charge penetrator.

[0017] Further, the parameters of the TNT explosive that need to be set in the simulation of step S2 are: the shape of the TNT explosive is cylindrical, the radius of the cylindrical explosive, the length, the initiation method, and the position of the initiation point are set.

[0018] Preferably, the parameters of the TNT explosive in the simulation of step S2 are: the TNT explosive is cylindrical, the length is 10 mm, and the initiation method is center point initiation; the position of the initiation point is set to be 30 mm away from the equivalent aluminum target and projected onto the center of the equivalent aluminum target.

[0019] Further, the parameters of the equivalent aluminum target that need to be set in the simulation of step S2 are the material and dimensions of the equivalent aluminum target.

[0020] Preferably, the parameters of the equivalent aluminum target in the simulation of step S2 are: the material of the equivalent aluminum target is 6061 hard aluminum, and the dimensions are 300 mm × 300 mm × 3 mm.

[0021] The present invention also provides a verification method for the above simulation method, including the following steps:

[0022] a. Change the explosive mass m in the simulation of step S2 tnt, the perforation area S of the corresponding equivalent aluminum target is obtained, and the functional relationship between the perforation area S of the equivalent aluminum target and the explosive mass m is obtained by fitting. tnt The functional relationship;

[0023] b. Conduct an experiment on the active shaped charge penetrator acting on the steel-aluminum spaced target. The experimental conditions are the same as the simulation conditions in step S1, and the result of the perforation area S' of the aluminum target in the test is obtained.

[0024] c. Substitute the perforation area S of the aluminum target obtained in b into the functional relationship obtained in step a to obtain the corresponding explosive mass m. tnt , substitute it into step S2 for simulation calculation, compare S and S', and verify the correctness of the simulation method. If the error does not exceed 5%, it proves that the simulation method is correct.

[0025] Furthermore, in step b, the liner of the active shaped charge penetrator used in the experiment is prepared by a molding-sintering process. The shaped charge and the standoff tube are located directly above the front steel target and projected onto the center of the steel target.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] By simulating the penetration of the active shaped charge penetrator into the steel-aluminum spaced target, the size of the penetration hole caused to the aluminum plate is obtained. Then, the aluminum target with a penetration hole is used to equivalently replace the aftereffect aluminum target penetrated by the active shaped charge penetrator, and the damage of the active liner to the aftereffect aluminum target is successfully equivalent to the damage of TNT explosives with different masses to the aluminum target with a prefabricated hole. On this basis, the numerical value of the secondary damage effect of the shaped charge penetrator deflagration reaction can be accurately obtained through a simple simulation method, providing important support for further research on the deflagration reaction of active materials.
