Numerical Simulation of Penetration of Tungsten-Alloy Projectile Penetrating Moving Cylindrical Shell Target

The process of penetrating moving cylindrical shell target with tungsten-alloy projectile was numerically simulated by the finite element code.The simulation results show that: the residual velocity and residual kinetic energy decrease with the increasing of the transverse velocity of the moving target,and increase with the increasing of the velocity of the tungsten-alloy projectile.The transverse velocity of the target has greater effect on the residual velocity of the tungsten-alloy projectile in low-velocity penetration than high-velocity penetration.
