Abstract
This paper evaluates the performance of perforated plates in composite sandwich panel under high-velocity impact. The ballistic resistance of composite sandwich panels made of steel plate on the outer layer and the rubber on the middle layer was evaluated using experimental and numerical methods. The front plate is modified with 3 mm diameter of holes, and the distance between the holes is 10 mm. Experimental testing was carried out by firing a 9 mm full metal jacket projectile at a distance of 5 m and an angle of attack of 90° on the target. Experimental results and numerical simulations show that the position of the projectile penetration at the side of the hole in the composite panel stops the projectile velocity faster at 1.1619 x 10−4 s with a maximum energy absorption of 532.9 J than at center of hole and middle of four holes. The failure of the side of the hole penetration position is the asymmetrical deformation of the back plate due to changes in the penetration position of the projectile with the initial trajectory, fractural projectile core and brass jacket projectile erosion. The projectile penetrates the front plate due to plastic deformation, and rubber in the middle layer is pushed and perforated in the projectile direction, causing the back plate to form a bulge.
