Abstract:

Process of building and the validation of the numerical models of the B-32 type armour-piercing incendiary (API) projectile is described in this article. Results of projectile compression tests (static and under high strain rates with the use of the modified Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar) are shown. On the basis of this, the values of the Johnson–Cook (J–C) strength model parameters for the projectile core material (N12e steel) were determined. This article presents results gained from simulations of the tests, in which the B-32 type projectile was modelled with the use of determined values of the J–C strength and failure models parameters. The process of the parameters values verification was described, in which the stress and strain obtained from samples in experiments and simulations were compared. Additional verification of the determined parameters values was comparison to the depth of penetration (DP) tests results of the Armox 500T plates fired with the 12.7 mm B-32 type projectile, obtained experimentally and in simulations. Small differences (< 5%) between stress and penetration depths obtained in the simulations and in the tests showed that the J–C parameter values were determined correctly.
