Theoretical and Numerical Simulation of Small High-speed Projectiles Penetrating Brick Masonry

Abstract

The process of small high-speed projectiles penetrating brick masonry was studied. The cavity expansion theory used in the study of small high-speed projectile penetration was programmed and the penetration process was calculated. At the same time, LS-DYNA was used to simulate the mechanical process of small high-speed projectiles as they penetrate brick masonry. The results show that the numerical simulation results are more consistent with the theoretical calculation results; the numerical simulation of the finite boundary of the brick masonry and the mortar layer will cause some errors, making the brick masonry less resistant to small high-speed projectiles; When the masonry is compressible, the brickwork has less resistance to small high-speed projectiles; the larger the CRH value describing the geometry of the small high-speed projectile head, the maximum penetration depth and remaining of the small high-speed projectile The speed is greater.
