Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a method for determining the back bulging deformation and ballistic limit velocity of an orthogonal laminate under the impact of a flat-nosed projectile, and belongs to the technical field of damage and protection. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber composites are increasingly used in armor protection systems due to their excellent mechanical properties, such as high specific strength and specific modulus, and extremely high plastic wave speed, which can quickly absorb and disperse energy. A typical cross-ply UHMWPE laminate is composed of a high volume fraction of UHMWPE fiber composite (>80%) and a low volume fraction of thermoplastic polymer matrix (<20%), and has excellent resistance to high-speed local impact.

[0003] The dynamic failure process of UHMWPE orthogonal laminates includes a local penetration stage and a back bulging deformation stage accompanied by progressive penetration. Back bulging deformation and ballistic limit velocity are important indicators for evaluating the ballistic performance of the laminate. Although existing numerical models can provide high-fidelity ballistic response predictions, they are computationally expensive and difficult to use for large-scale iterative simulation optimization. Therefore, it is important to develop an analytical model that can quickly and accurately estimate the back bulging deformation and ballistic limit velocity.

[0004] During the ballistic impact process, the back bulging deformation of the laminate is closely related to the moving hinge that propagates from the center to the outside. Existing analytical models based on momentum conservation or energy conservation often ignore the progressive penetration process of the laminate, and use empirical formulas to calculate the evolution of lateral deformation. The empirical formulas often require the combination of experiments or simulations to combine related parameters, resulting in high complexity and insufficient accuracy in predicting back bulging deformation and ballistic limit velocity. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a method for determining the back bulging deformation and ballistic limit velocity of an orthogonal laminate under the impact of a flat-nosed projectile, which can efficiently and accurately predict the transient central deflection, moving hinge position and ballistic limit velocity of a UHMWPE laminate under the impact of a flat-nosed projectile. The term "moving hinge" in the present application refers to the propagation of bending waves in the in-plane direction of the laminate, i.e., the lateral deformation profile of the laminate.

[0006] The present application can accurately predict the transient back bulging deformation, moving hinge propagation and ballistic limit velocity of a UHMWPE laminate during the progressive penetration process of a flat-nosed projectile without using any fitting parameters or empirical formulas.

The impact position of the flat-headed projectile is the center of the orthogonal laminate. At this time, the orthogonal laminate is penetrated. The penetration process of the orthogonal laminate is divided into a local penetration stage and a back convex deformation stage accompanied by progressive penetration.

[0010] Use the initial velocity v 02 The flat-headed projectile directly impacts the fixed-support orthogonal laminate 2. The impact position of the flat-headed projectile is the center of the orthogonal laminate. At this time, the orthogonal laminate is penetrated.
