Comparing the Theoretical and Analytical Results by Finite Element Method of Ballistic Materials
摘要
The comparative study of theoretical and analytical results by Finite Element Method (FEM) is one way to analyze the performance of ballistic materials. This type of analysis utilizes FEM methods such as displacement, stress or strain values in order to predict how well a material will perform under making an impact with objects traveling at high speeds. The comparison between these two types of data can help provide insight into which materials would have the best response when subject to loading from projectiles travelling at various velocities. It is also possible for different parameters within the analytic model to be used for comparison purposes including density, Young’s modulus, yield shear strength, length-to-width ratios and tensile strengths among others. In this way it allows engineers and scientists alike to understand better what properties make ballistic materials ideal for certain applications.
