Abstract
Abstract The results of energy absorbing analysis of VP159 austenitic steel and LH556 cast alloy were presented in this article. The assessment was carried out on the basis of drop-weight tower perforation test at impact energy equal to 500J and striker velocity equal to 12,5 m/s. Moreover, the basic mechanical properties of both tested materials were estimated in order to calibrate coefficients of the Johnson-Cook visco-plasticity model and Johnson-Cook damage initialization criterion as well. Subsequently, both models were applied for the finite element method simulation of perforation process. The reasonable agreement between measured and calculated shape of energy absorption curves were obtained for steel and cast alloy as well.
