Week 10 Bullet penetrating a Bucket Challenge

OBJECTIVES :-

  • To simulate a bullet penetrating into a bucket using 3 different non linear materials for the bucket and analyse their behaviour for the same velocity of bullet

PROCEDURES:-

  • Open ansys workbench R2
  • select explicit dynamic anlysis
  • rename it if it required
  • select engineering data ,select required material like alumium alloy ,stainless alloy ,copper alloy from non linear material list
  • select TANTALUM from explicit material list for all cases
  • import the geometry
  • open the ansys mechanical
  • rename part properly
  • select TANTALUM for bullet ,type as rigid
  • select material for bucket appropriately
  • in mesh section ,insert sizing ,select two eedge of bucket ,input element size as 6 mm
  • in analysis section input end time as 0.01s,maximum energy error as 5
  • insert fixed support in explicit dynamic section ,select bottom surface of bucket as its scope
  • insert velocity ,select defined by component input zero for y and z axis ,and for x axis input -139000mm/s
  • insert total deformation , equivalent stress and equivalent strain in solution section
  • run solve

RESULT :-

CASE I:-

ALUMINUM NON LINEAR ALLOY BUCKET:-

TOTAL DEFORMATION :-

EQUIVALENT STRESS:-

EQUIVALENT STRAIN:-

CASE II:-

COPPER NON LINEAR ALLOY BUCKET:-

TOTAL DEFORMATION :-

EQUIVALENT STRESS:-

EQUIVALENT STRAIN:-

CASE III:-

STAINLESS STEEL NON LINEAR ALLOY BUCKET:-

TOTAL DEFORMATION :-

EQUIVALENT STRESS:-

EQUIVALENT STRAIN:-

TABULATION:-

CASES TOTAL DEFORMATION(mm) EQUIVALENT STRESS(MPa) EQUIVALENT STRAIN(mm/mm)
CASES I 1390 1428.5 0.020419
CASES II 1390 2003.2 0.02417
CASES III 1482.3 4104.7 0.014816

CONCLUSION :-

  • total defomation is more in third case which included stainless steel non linear bucket
  • Equivalent stress is more in stainless steel non linear material
  • equivalent strain is more in copper alloy non linear material
  • equivalent stress is very low copared to others in aluminium non linear alloy
