Особенности проникания элементов кумулятивной струи в стальную преграду

Abstract

Based on numerical simulations carried out using numerical methods of continuum mechanics, the influence on the depth of craters, formed in steel barriers of various strengths, geometric and kinematic parameters of elongated cylindrical copper strikers, simulating elements of a cumulative jet, in the range from 0.3 to 8 km/s. For description the behavior of materials of the impactor and barrier, the model of a compressible elastic-plastic medium with a variable value of the yield strength. Determined that the classical hydrodynamic theory of the penetration of a cumulative jet into a barrier is not takes into account the effects of the inertial movement of the barrier after triggering separately taken element (aftereffect). The existence of three regimes is distinguished shock interaction - high-speed, when the elements behave like a liquid body, are worked out, but not inhibited; low speed, when the elements behave like solid body and are decelerated as a whole and intermediate, when the elements are decelerated and are deformed at the same time. It is shown that the braking mode of copper elements at high-speed impact on a steel armored barrier is realized at speeds smaller 800…1000 m/s. It is shown that when interacting with an obstacle, high-speed fragmented cumulative jet, the total depth of armor penetration will be greater, than this is predicted by the classical hydrodynamic theory of penetration, and the more more, the higher the speed of the elements and the greater the distance between them on the one hand and less strength of the barrier on the other side.
