초속 수 킬로미터에 달하는 탄자 충돌 해석과 같은 고속 충돌 문제는 매우 짧은 작용시간, 지배적인 과도 응답 상태, 관성효과의 중요성 등을 특징으로 들 수 있다. 이 글에서는 고속 충돌 해석을 위한 삼각형/사면체 요소를 적용한 operator-splitting 유한 요소 해석 기술에 대해 소개하였다.

In this paper simulations for the impact into ceramics and/or metal materials have been discussed. To model discrete nature for fracture and damage of brittle materials, we implemented cohesive-law fracture model with a node separation algorithm for the tensile failure and Mohr-Coulomb model for the compressive loading. The drawback of this scheme is that it requires a heavy computational time. This is because new nodes are generated continuously whenever a new crack surface is created. In order to reduce the amount of calculation, parallelization with MPI library has been implemented. For the high-speed impact problems, the mesh configuration and contact calculation changes continuously as time step advances and it causes unbalance of computational load of each processor. Dynamic load balancing technique which re-allocates the loading dynamically is used to achieve good parallel performance. Some impact problems have been simulated and the parallel performance and accuracy of the solutions are discussed.

In this paper, the penetration behavior of carbon/epoxy composite laminates subjected to high velocity projectile impact was studied by numerical simulation. The composite laminates made of carbon/epoxy with $[45/0/-45/90]_{ns}$ stacking sequence and the spherical steel impactor were three-dimensionally modeled. The ply numbers of 16 and 24 and the impact velocities in the range of 140-250 m/s were considered. The analysis was performed using an explicit finite element code LS-DYNA. The residual velocity and the amount of damage were predicted and compared to the experimental results.

Advanced fiber fabrics have been utilized in not only anti-stabbing and bullet-proofing for body armor but also various industrial fields including vehicular armor and spacecraft structure. Furthermore, there have been a number of research to improve the ballistic performance of advanced fabrics introducing many computational approaches. In our research, an advanced fabric, Heracron manufactured in South Korea was modelled firstly using Autodyn, a commercial software specializing in impact and explosion phenomenon. The sensitivity of the input parameters was also confirmed by conducting simulations. To verify the numerical modelling, we measured and compared the simulation results with velocity decrements after impact involving one, three, and five layers of Heracron under 200-500 m/s impacts by an aluminum spherical projectile. The Heracron fabric was successfully modelled using Autodyn.

This paper describe inner-collision-characteristics of the ship structural plates when the projectile collides with plate-material using LS-DYNA3D which is general and useful finite element analysis tool in collision problem fields. The series analyses were carried out from high speed(41.56m／s-118.9m／s) to ultrahigh speed(544.05m／s-800m／s). Through these analyses we can approach empirical formula to estimate penetration limit of the ship structural plates with which the projectile of various speed collides.

Failure of Kevlar29/Phenolic composite plate under high velocity impact of FSP(Fragment Simulation Projectile) is investigated using a non-linear explicit finite element code, LS-DYNA. Composite laminate and impactor are idealized by solid element and interface between laminas are modeled by tied-break element in LS-DYNA. Interaction between impactor and laminate is simulated face-to-face eroding contact algorithm. When the stress level meets a failure criteria, the layer in the element is eroded. Numerical results are verified by existing test results.

In this study, we investigate the dispersion behavior of debris and debris cloud generated by high-velocity impacts using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) technique. The projectile and target plate were made of aluminum, and we confirm the validity of the SPH technique by comparing the measured major and minor axis lengths of the debris cloud in the reference with the predicted values obtained through the SPH analysis. We perform high-velocity impact and fracture analysis based on the verified SPH technique within the velocity ranges of 1.5~4 km/s, and we evaluate the dispersion behavior of debris induced by the impact in terms of its kinetic energy. The maximum dispersion radius of the debris on the witness plates located behind the target plate was increased with increasing impact velocity. We derive an empirical equation that is capable of predicting the dispersion radius, and we found that 95％ of the total kinetic energy of the debris was concentrated within 50％ of the maximum dispersion radius.

In this study, high velocity impact tests along with modeling of material behavior and numerical analyses were conducted to predict the dispersion behavior of the debris resulting from a high velocity impact fracture. For the impact tests, two different materials were employed for both the projectile and the target plate - the first setup employed aluminum alloy while the second employed steel. The projectile impacts the target plate with a velocity of approximately 1 km/s were enforced to generate the impact damages in the aluminum witness plate through the fracture debris. It was confirmed that, depending on the material employed, the debris dispersion behavior as well as the dispersion radii on the witness plate varied. A numerical analysis was conducted for the same impact test conditions. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH)-finite element (FE) coupled technique was then applied to model the fracture and damage upon the debris. The experimental and numerical results for the diameters of the perforation holes in the target plate and the debris dispersion radii on the witness plate were in agreement within a 5％ error. In addition, the impact test using steel was found to be more threatening as proven by the larger debris dispersion radius.

선진국 국립연구소에서만 개발하여 적용중인 hydrocode 또는 wavecode를 최근에 국내에서 C++언어로 ExLO를 개발하였다. 3차원 FEM을 적용한 본 코드의 가장 두드러진 특징은 Lagrangian/ALE/Eulerian solver 들을 모두 한 프레임에 내포하고 있어 적용범위에 따라 즉 변형양상에 따라 선택적인 해석 solver의 적용이 가능하다는 것이다. 즉 문제에 따른 (변형의 양상에 따른) 최적의 시뮬레이션 해석 solver 적용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 ExLO를 이용하여 고속 물체의 충돌, 파편의 구조물 관통해석 및 대기 중 Air-blast 충격파 전파해석, 물속에서의 수중폭발 충격파 생성 및 전파해석 등의 예제를 소개하고 그 신뢰성을 확인해 보고자 한다. 대체로 군사적인 적용이 많으나 차츰 민간분야의 다양한 방재현상 시뮬레이션에 적용이 가능할 것이다.
