Composite sabot can increase the penetration performance of APFSDS projectile by reduction of the sabot weight. However, it has a thick-sectioned lamination and the lamination structure is different from those of the conventional composite parts. In this study, modeling technique for a thick and radially-laminated composite part has been applied in the finite element analysis of composite sabot. Four models of composite lamination for the sabot have been proposed and evaluated for their structural strength.

This paper deals with the analysis of composite sabot of APFSDS projectile. Unlike conventional composite parts, the sabot is composed of thick-sectioned lamination, and thus requires 3-dimensional properties in the analysis. In this study, a model was formulated to calculate the equivalent composites properties. The equivalent properties were then used in the finite element analysis and the results were compared with those by the full 3-dimensional analysis with ply-by-ply modeling. The results generally agreed with each other in the bound of 20% error, indicating that the formulated model produced the equivalent properties with reasonable accuracy. It was thought to be an efficient approach to use the model in global analysis and then perform the full 3-dimensional analysis in regions of interest for detailed evaluation in designing the composite sabot structure.

In order to substitute current aluminum sabot and to increase the penetration performance of the kinetic energy projectiles, the research and development program for composites sabot has been conducted. For carbon/epoxy composites sabot, unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced epoxy prepreg was chosen and thick sectioned composites preforms with the different fiber angles along the circumferential direction of sabot were prepared by compression molding under the careful processing conditions at $150^{\circ}C$ for 1hour with $70kgf/cm^2$ curing pressure. The composites sabot demonstrated a weight reduction by approximately 30% than that of current aluminum sabot. The muzzle velocity of a kinetic energy projectile with composites sabot was measured to be about 63m/s higher than that with aluminum sabot. These results imply that the penetration performance is expected to be considerably increased when the composite sabot is applied to the kinetic energy projectiles.

나사산을 가지는 구조재료는 높은 전단 응력을 한 방향으로 전달해 주는 용도로 많이 사용되며, 이를 응용하여 고속의 충격에너지나 전단하중에 견별 수 있는 기어 모양의 부품 등 항공 및 군수용 재료에 적용되어왔다. 최근에는 재료를 보다 경량화 하려는 노력의 일환으로 기존의 금속재료를 섬유강화 고분자 수지계 복합재료로 대체하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄소섬유/열경화성 수지계 복합재를 사용하여 나사산(groove)을 가지는 시편을 제작한 뒤 역탄도 기법으로 고속변형 특성 평가를 실시하였고, 이를 통하여 군수용 부품 재료로의 적용 가능성을 타진해 보았다.
