Abstract
The perforation response of a thin or intermediately thick beam/plate struck by a rigid, heavy, flat-nosed projectile traveling at a high velocity is studied analytically. Based on a newly developed expression relating indentation depth to crack length, a shear-plugging model including two stages: indentation and crack growth, is proposed. In this model, shear resistance in the ligament decreases as the cracks propagate through the target thickness. The closed-form solutions for residual velocities, plastic energy, shear zone width, crack propagation speeds, and temperature rise are derived. A coupled shear–tension solution that takes into account global deformation of the plate is also developed. The coupled solution improves prediction for the case with the initial impact velocity near the ballistic limit. Comparisons with experimental results presented in the open literature are made showing rather good correlation, which validates the accuracy of the present solution.
