The interest regarding use of aluminium alloys in lightweight protective structures is today increasing. Even so, the number of experimental and computational investigations giving detailed information on such problems is still rather limited. In this paper, perforation experiments have been perform

The process of ductile plate perforation by sharp-nosed rigid projectiles is further examined in this work through 2D numerical simulations. We highlight various features concerning the effective resisting stress (r r ) which a finite thickness plate, with a flow stress of Y t , exerts on the projec
The authors' previous analyses of normal perforation of thin plate by high speed projectiles are generalized to include truncated cones, at oblique striking angles. A complete velocity-displacement history is obtained for the most general case. Results are presented in graphical form.
Projectiles with three different nose shapes (blunt, hemispherical and conical) have been used in gas gun experiments to penetrate 12 mm thick Weldox 460 E steel plates. Based on the experimental results, the residual velocity curves of the target material were constructed and compared. It was found
