Product Overview:
This video provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide to simulating the high-velocity impact of a steel projectile on a ceramic-composite plate in Abaqus. Throughout the analysis, the projectile penetrates the plate, causing the ceramic elements to be removed, while the composite layers exhibit strong resistance to the steel rod’s penetration. Hashin’s damage criterion is applied to model the composite, and the ceramic utilizes ductile damage combined with Drucker-Prager plasticity to predict fracture zones.

In this tutorial, the focus shifts to modeling the impact of a high-speed steel rod on a composite ceramic plate. You will cover:

• Composite Layup Creation: Designing a comprehensive composite part with multilayer properties.
• Interactions and Constraints: Properly configuring interactions to ensure stable simulations.
• Dynamic Simulation Settings: Crafting boundary conditions for greater accuracy.
• Visualization and Result Interpretation: Analyzing contour plots and stress distributions.
