- The paper presents a numerical study of a two layer composite panel impacted by an AP (Armour Piercing) 14.5x118mm B32 projectile. The panel consists of a number of pyramid ceramic components supported by an aluminium plate. The studied model is compared with a reference structure in which ceramic layer is in a form of a plate. The problem has been solved with the usage of modelling and simulation methods as well as a finite elements method implemented in LS-DYNA software. Space discretization for each option was built with three dimension elements guaranteeing satisfying accuracy of the calculations. For material behaviour simulation, specific models including the influence of the strain rate and temperature changes were considered. A steel projectile and aluminium plate material were described by Johnson-Cook model and a ceramic target by Johnson-Holmquist model. In the studied panels, the area surrounding back edges was supported by a rigid wall. The obtained results show interesting properties of the examined structures considering their ballistic resistance. All tests have given clear results about ballistic protection panel response under AP projectile impact. Panels consisting of sets of pyramids are slightly easier to penetrate. Despite this fact, a ceramic layer is much less susceptible to overall destruction what makes it more applicable for the armour usage. Furthermore, a little influence of the projectile impact point and consequently a part of the pyramid, which is first destroyed, is proved.
