Numerical Simulation of Penetrating Effects of Projectile at High Speed

In order to provide the theoretical foundation for design and construction improvement of the projectile, numerical simulation of projectile penetration at high speed was implemented with lagrange algorithm. According to the analysis of several effects on penetration in simulation results, the penetrating capability of the projectile is not decided by its kinetic energy but the kinetic energy vs its cross section area, when the other conditions are the same. The simulation results conform relatively well to some experience formula.
