Abstract

Abstract: Armor-piercing projectile is one of the main threats faced by light armored vehicles. The after-effect fragments formed by projectile penetrating armor will cause injuries to the occupants. It is an important reference for evaluating the impact of the armor-piercing projectile on light armored targets. The characteristics of after-effect fragments have a great influence on the lethal efficiency of internal occupants, especially those wearing bulletproof vests. In order to study the injury effect of the after-effect fragments on occupants, the 12.7 mm multifunctional bullet was tested to 10 mm armored steel to obtain the mass distribution of after-effect fragments at different speeds, and then a finite element model of the effect of after-effect fragments on the human thorax FEM with soft body armor was established. Through numerical simulation, the impact of different after-effect fragments of bullets was obtained. The stress changes, pressure changes and etc. of human model after the impact of different after-effect fragments were obtained that provides a basis for further evaluation of the injury effect of fragments on occupants in light armored vehicles.
