Abstract:
The article presents the characteristics of 1.3964 steel and the results of firing a 7.62 mm projectile with a steel core. A simplified Johnson-Cook material model for steel and projectile was used. Then, a FEM (finite element method) simulation was prepared to calibrate the material constants and boundary conditions necessary to be used in simulations of the entire hull model. It was checked how projectile modeling affects the FEM calculation results. After obtaining the simulation results consistent with the experimental results, using the model of a modern minehunter, the resistance of the ship's hull to penetration by a small-caliber projectile was tested.
