Research on Penetration Performance of Tandem Damage Elements to Oblique Reactive Armor

Abstract

In order to study the penetration performance of the tandem warhead against the oblique reactive armor target, ANSYS/LS-DYNA finite element simulation software was used to simulate the penetration process of the tandem warhead against the oblique reactive armor target when the front liner of the tandem warhead was made of different materials. The results show that when the front liner material is copper, the formed jet penetrates the reactive armor and will detonate it. The rear jet is greatly affected by the reactive armor, and the final penetration depth is 550 mm; when the front liner material is material is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), the formed low-density jet penetrates the reactive armor and does not detonate it. The rear jet directly penetrates the main target plate along the low-density jet penetration hole, and the final penetration depth is 646 mm, compared with the tandem warhead As far as the front liner uses copper jet, the penetration depth is increased by 17.45%.
