摘要
As one of the most commonly used aerospace aluminum alloys, 2024-T351 aluminum alloy plates are frequently exposed to impact loadings. In this study, the ballistic resistance of 2, 4, 4.82 and 8 mm thick 2024-T351 aluminum alloy plates struck by blunt projectiles was investigated both experimentally and numerically. Ballistic impact tests of 2024-T351 aluminum alloy plates of different thicknesses were carried out using a one-stage gas gun, and the initial-residual velocities and the ballistic curves were determined experimentally. It was found that the plates failed by shear plugging regardless of target thickness and the enhancement of ballistic limit velocity decreased with an increase in the target thickness. In parallel with experiments, numerical simulations were carried out by ABAQUS/Explicit. Deformation behavior of the plates was described by a modified Johnson Cook (MJC) plasticity model accompanied with either the Lode-dependent modified Mohr-Coulomb (MMC) fracture criterion or the Lode-independent modified Johnson-Cook (MJC) fracture criterion (MJC). Numerical simulations showed that the ballistic limit velocities and the fracture path predicted by the Lode-dependent MMC fracture criterion were in better agreement with the experimental ones. Detailed analysis on the fracture path was performed and it was found that the normalized Lode angle was close to zero while the stress triaxiality was negative except for the 2 mm thick targets. Within such a stress state region, the Lode independent MJC fracture criterion obviously overpredicted ductility of the material and thus predicted much higher ballistic limit velocities. The main objective of the study is to reveal the necessity of incorporating Lode angle into a fracture criterion in predicting ballistic resistance of 2024-T351 aluminum alloy plates with various thicknesses struck by blunt projectiles through finite element (FE) simulations.
