Rate-Dependent Dynamic Cylindrical Cavity Expansion Equations for Conical- and Ogival-Nosed Projectiles
- Idaho National Lab. (INL), Idaho Falls, ID (United States)
The dynamic cylindrical cavity expansion of rate-dependent materials was previously derived by Warren to examine the effects of strain-rate sensitivity on the radial stress acting on a perforating projectile. However, the equations presented were largely analytical and were not further applied to predict the ballistic performance of ductile target plates. The current work expands on Warren’s derivation to model the dynamics of conical and ogival geometries, and the rate-dependent model is compared to prior experimental results of 7.62-mm APM2 rounds impacting 6061-T6511 aluminum alloy plates. The results show that including rate effects improves the ballistic performance prediction, even for a marginally strain-rate sensitive material such as Al6061-T651. However, existing semi-empirical variations of the cavity expansion model can provide the same degree of accuracy if target material rate-sensitivity parameters are not readily available.
