High velocity impact of large caliber tungsten projectiles on ordinaryPortland and calcium aluminate cement based HPSFRC and SIFCON slabs Part II numerical simulation and validation

OpenAlex İngilizce

We present the numerical implementation, simulation, and validation of the high-velocity impact experiments that have been described in the companion article. In this part, numerical investigations and simulations performed to mimic the tests are presented. The experiments were analyzed by the explicit integration-based software ABAQUS for improved simulations. Targets were modeled with a damaged plasticity model for concrete. Computational results of residual velocity and crater dimensions yielded acceptable results.
