High rotating speed projectile penetrating into moving vehicle door at different incident angle

This paper uses the numerical simulation LS-DYNA, to simulate the process of the projectile with high rotating speed and different penetration angles penetrating into the moving vehicular door. Because of the moving of the vehicular door, the projectile will turn, and the ballistic trajectory will migrate. At the same time, the projectile will deflect from the vehicular door because of the projectile’s penetration angles. In the process of the penetration, the projectile’s moving speed is 300 m/s; rotating speed is 0 and 6370 r/s. The vehicular door’s moving speed is 80 m/s. The penetration angle is 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°. The projectile is the semi-sphere nose projectile whose diameter is 7.62 mm; the vehicular door’s thickness is 2 mm. The material model is the JOHN-COOK material model that can characterize strain, strain rate hardening and thermal softening effects. Through comparing with the results by simulation to study the effects of the projectile’s final velocity, the angle of rotation, the ballistic trajectory’s migration and the projectile’s deflection with different projectile’s rotating speeds and penetration angles.
