Simulation of Shock-Induced Fracture of a Plate Made of a Functionally Graded Material Based on Steel and Titanium
摘要
A numerical model was developed and implemented to describe the dynamic fracture of a plate made of a functionally graded material based on St.3 steel and VT8 titanium alloy under shock-wave loading. Numerical simulation was performed by a three-dimensional finite element using the EFES software. To describe the properties of the functionally graded material, a mixing parameter is introduced that ensures a smooth transition between the materials across the plate thickness. A numerical test similar to the Taylor test and a simulation of the impact of an aluminum projectile on a continuously functionally graded target were performed to evaluate residual strains, pressure profiles, and the conditions for the onset of spall fracture. It is found that the St.3
