Numerical study of anisotropic behavior of Aluminum alloy subjected to dynamic perforation (original) (raw)

International Journal of Impact Engineering

Abstract

Abstract A numerical investigation was carried out to analyze in details the perforation process of target AA5754-O Aluminum plate when subjected to normal impact at low (up to 25 ms − 1 ) and moderate velocities (ranged between 25 − 50 ms − 1 ). A fully coupled elasto-visco-plastic-damage model is implemented into a user-defined material (VUMAT) subroutine for the commercial finite element code ABAQUS/Explicit. The strain rate effect is considered. Comparison between isotropic J 2 and orthotropic Hill yield criteria associated with isotropic and mixed non-linear isotropic/kinematic hardening was conducted. A parametric study of the effect of anisotropy, plate thickness and impactor nose shapes on ballistic limit and petal forming is carried out. A good agreement is found between numerical and experimental results conducted by other researchers.
