Abstract

To study the impact resistance of ZK61m magnesium alloy plate, firstly, impact experiments were conducted on magnesium alloy plates of different thicknesses using a one-stage gas gun system to obtain the ballistic limit velocity (BLV) and failure mode of the target plate. In addition, the velocity of the punch plug was analyzed by the squeeze chisel block velocity model. Finally, the corresponding numerical simulations were carried out using the Lode parameter-independent MJC fracture criterion and the Lode parameter-dependent MMC fracture criterion, and the influence mechanism of the Lode parameter on the numerical simulation results was analyzed. The results show that under the impact of the blunt projectile, different thicknesses of target plates mainly occur shear plug failure, the BLV first tends to flatten and then increases sharply with the increase of its thickness. Besides, in the same velocity interval, the plugging velocity decreases with the increase of the target plate thickness; the Lode parameter has an obvious influence on the simulation results, which the MMC fracture criterion is more consistent with the experimental results. However, with the increase of the target plate thickness, both MMC and MJC fracture criteria show the phenomenon of overestimation of the material ductility.
