Ballistic Behavior of Plain Concrete Target Slab Against Long Rod Steel Projectile
摘要
The study of ballistic impact behavior of plain concrete target slabs having unconfined uniaxial compressive strength as 48 MPa against long steel rod projectile had been carried out through both experimentally as well as numerically. The objective of the study was to obtain the ballistic curve through ballistic experiments and thus validate the experimental findings through numerical modelling using finite element method (FEM) tool i.e., ABAQUS Explicit software. Consequently, validated numerical model was put to further study in order to explore the effect of various end support conditions.
