Week 10 Bullet penetrating a Bucket Challenge

bullet penetrating a bucket using ansys workbench

Objectiive:to simulate bullet penetrating into a bucket with 3 different non-linear materials for the bucket and analyse their behaviour for the same velocity of bullet using explicit dynamics in ansys workbench.

Geometry:

material: three non linear materials are choosen for the anslysis they are aluminium alloy NL, copper alloy NL, stainless steel NL.

and Tantalum material for the bullet.

results:

Aluminium alloy NL:

total deformation:

equivalent stress:

copper alloy NL and stainless steel NL:-

conclusion:

the least stress and deformation is found in aluminium alloy NL when compared to other two materials and stainless steel NL is having more stress and deformation.
