Computer modeling of process of projectile's penetration into discrete-element armor panel

Modeling was performed at two scales. Deformation of each discrete element was considered in terms of continuum approach, the hybrid armor panel was represented by a big number of discrete elements with the given law of interaction. Numerical experiment consisted in variation of micro porosity of Al form damping particles and variation of projectile shape and velocity as well as a variation of material and shape of discrete reinforcing elements.
