✦ Synopsis

Experiments and simulations of penetration and perforation of high performance concrete targets by steel projectiles have been carried out. A Doppler radar monitored the projectile pre-impact velocity history and a high-speed camera captured the projectile residual velocity. A continuum mechanical approach and the finite-element method were used for the simulations. The targets were modelled with the K&C concrete model. For perforation the computational results show acceptable agreement with the experimental results, but not for penetration. The article is concluded with suggestions on how to better model concrete material for the current application.

Fracture tests were performed on six types of simple concrete made with two types of mortar matrix w/c = 0.32 and w/c = 0.42, two types of spherical aggregates (strong aggregates that debonded during concrete fracture, and weak aggregates, able to break), and two kinds of matrix-aggregate interface
