摘要: 陶瓷锥是轻型陶瓷复合装甲实现抗弹侵彻能量耗散的关键物理机制。为此,针对碳化硼陶瓷复合装甲,选取6061铝合金、7075铝合金、T300碳纤维板及超高分子量聚乙烯板(ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, UHMWPE)4种典型背板材料,采用一级轻气炮弹道冲击实验与LS-DYNA数值模拟相结合的方法,系统研究了背板屈服强度、刚度及波阻抗对陶瓷锥形态及演化的影响规律。结果表明:陶瓷锥对背板的载荷传递并非仅依赖单一外锥,而是通过外锥与内锥等多条裂纹的共同作用实现;背板的屈服强度对主要锥形的裂纹扩展无明显影响;在刚度方面,外锥角随弹性模量的增加而线性减小,内锥角则呈指数增大;波阻抗通过调控应力波反射/透射改变陶瓷内部应力场变化,致使内锥角随着波阻抗的增加呈线性增大,外锥角则随之呈指数减小。Abstract: To investigate the influence of backplate mechanical properties on the formation mechanism of ceramic cones in boron carbide ceramic composite armor, four typical backplate materials, including 6061 aluminum alloy, 7075 aluminum alloy, T300 carbon fiber board, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) were selected. A combination of ballistic impact experiments conducted via a one-stage light gas gun and numerical simulations performed with LS-DYNA was adopted to systematically study the effects of backplate yield strength, stiffness, and wave impedance on the morphology and evolution of ceramic cones. The results indicate that: the load transfer from the ceramic cone to the backplate is not solely dependent on a single outer cone but is achieved through the synergistic action of multiple cracks, including the outer and inner cones; the yield strength of the backplate has no significant effect on the crack propagation of the main cone; regarding stiffness, the outer cone angle decreases linearly with increasing elastic modulus, while the inner cone angle increases exponentially; wave impedance alters the internal stress field of the ceramic by modulating stress wave reflection/transmission, resulting in a linear increase in the inner cone angle and an exponential decrease in the outer cone angle with increasing impedance.
