A Simplified ALE model for finite element simulation of ballistic impacts with bullet splash – development and experimental validation

An original simplified finite element model is proposed to simulate the effects of non-penetrating ballistic impacts causing the so-called bullet splash phenomenon (complete bullet fragmentation), while no fragmentation is caused to the target. The model is based on the Arbitrary Lagrangian Euleria...
