Abstract

In order to study the trajectory deflection law of rigid projectiles obliquely penetrating into concrete targets,the semi-empirical formulas method was used to determine target resistance function and the target resistance function was loaded onto a projectile surface as a boundary condition by ABAQUS. Therefore,the trajectories of the mass center of the projectiles were calculated. The following conclusions were got through the analysis: the greater the oblique angle is the more obvious influence of oblique angle on penetration depth and direction change is; the influence of trajectory deflection shows the tendency of decrease with the increase of impact velocity; trajectory deflection is larger as mass center position is nearer to the projectile tail.
