Resistance of grid steel-tube-confined concrete targets against projectile impact: Experimental investigation and analytical engineering model

Steel-tube-confined concrete(STCC) targets are provided with excellent anti-penetration performance over semi-infinite concrete(SIC) targets since the steel tube imposes passive restraint on the in-filled concrete during the penetration process. Grid STCC system with square steel tubes is a potential solution to protective structures. In this paper, experiments of 9-cell grid STCC targets penetrated by 12.7 mm Armor Piercing Projectile(APP) were performed. The influence of side length and thickness of steel tube,steel ratio and impact velocity on anti-penetration performance were taken into account. Additionally,single-cell square STCC targets were also designed and tested for comparison with the 9-cell grid STCC targets. Damage modes and parameters of the tested targets were measured and discussed. Moreover,the stiffness of radial confinement of grid STCC targets is achieved according to the elastic solution of infinite cylindrical shell in Winkler medium. Furthermore, the penetration resistance and depth of penetration(DOP) for grid STCC targets are obtained on the basis of the dynamic finite spherical cavityexpansion(FSCE) models including radial confinement effect. It is shown that the 9-cell grid STCC targets with optimal dimension match of thickness and side length of steel tube can reduce the DOP by about17 % and 23 % in comparison with the SIC targets and single-cell square STCC targets, respectively, due to both the confinement of square steel tube to concrete in the impacted cell and the additional confinement of the surrounding cells to the impacted cell;the penetration resistance and DOP of the grid and cellular STCC targets with similar steel ratio is close, and thus the grid STCC targets with simpler manufacturing process and excellent in-plane expandability are preferred in engineering practice;moreover, the predicted results of DOP model based on the FSCE models agree well with the tested results with the maximum disparity less than 12 % and the proposed model is more applicable to the grid and cellular STCC targets with high radial confinement.

正六边形钢管约束混凝土靶边长对抗侵彻性能影响的试验研究

钢管约束混凝土在防护结构中具有广阔的应用前景。正六边形钢管约束混凝土靶具有优良的抗侵彻性能,其抗单发和多发打击性能明显优于半无限混凝土靶。为了研究钢管边长对抗侵彻性能的影响,进行了12. 7 mm钨芯穿甲弹(撞击速度600～836 m/s)侵彻不同边长正六边形钢管约束混凝土靶试验,得到了靶的破坏模式和主要损伤参数。结果表明:钢管边长对侵彻深度和侵彻阻力有较明显的影响,边长越小,侵彻深度越小,侵彻阻力越大;撞击速度约600m/s、钢管边长由66 mm减小到55 mm时,侵彻深度可减小约19%,侵彻阻力增大约17%;正六边形钢管约束混凝土靶的侵彻深度随着撞击速度的增大近似线性增加。

陶瓷复合装甲粘结层效应和抗多发打击性能的数值模拟研究

粘结层性能对陶瓷复合装甲抗多发打击性能有重要影响。建立了研究粘结层和多发打击的数值模拟方法,解决了传统方法不能模拟"脱粘"和多发打击的问题。基于文献弹道试验,研究了环氧树脂和聚氨酯两种粘结层材料及其厚度对陶瓷/铝合金复合装甲抗7.62mm穿甲弹单发和两发打击性能的影响。结果表明:单发打击的数值模拟可不建粘结层,而多发打击应采用建粘结层的方法;抗单发打击时,粘结层越薄,极限速度越大;抗多发打击时,陶瓷复合装甲应采用聚氨酯粘结层,且其抗两发打击的较优厚度约为0.40mm。

钨穿甲弹对超音速反舰导弹发动机舱的毁伤效应

为研究钨穿甲弹对超音速反舰导弹发动机舱的毁伤效应,采用ANSYS/LS-DYNA软件,对钨穿甲弹以1000 m/s着靶速度,侵彻速度为730 m/s的来袭超音速反舰导弹的发动机舱进行了数值模拟,获得钨穿甲弹入射角、偏轴距离对毁伤超音速反舰导弹发动机舱的影响规律。计算结果表明,在钨穿甲弹能侵入发动机的前提下,偏轴距离相同的各工况,入射角较小的工况,钨穿甲弹侵入发动机后的剩余质量较大,但剩余速度较小;入射角相同的各工况,偏轴距离越小,钨穿甲弹侵入发动机后的剩余质量、剩余速度和剩余动能均越大。以钨穿甲弹剩余动能为毁伤能力评估标准,综合来看,在较小的偏轴距离、能侵入发动机的前提下,入射角较小的钨穿甲弹对来袭超音速反舰导弹的发动机舱毁伤效果较好。
