Abstract

Aiming to evaluate the penetration resistance of the ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) target, both penetration tests and numerical simulations were carried out on UHPC targets. Firstly, the $\varnothing$ 35 mm gun was used to carry out a series of penetration tests on the C160 UHPC with striking velocities varying from 216 m/s to 345 m/s. The test results show that with the increase of projectile velocity, the penetration depth and crater diameter increase obviously. Besides, UHPC notably decreased the damage to targets caused by the projectile, efficiently reduced the penetration depth and regarding crater damage and crack propagation, which was superior to ordinary concrete in the performance against penetration. Then, 3D finite element models were established and the corresponding numerical simulations were carried out. In the process of numerical simulation, the key parameters of the RHT model for UHPC was determined. In order to verify the accuracy of the RHT material model, uniaxial compressive and split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) testing results are used to validate 3D finite element material model. The numerical simulated results exhibited fair agreement with the test data, these observations demonstrated the applicability and validity of the calibrated RHT model. Finally, with the validated RHT material model, parametric studies were further conducted to explore the effect of uniaxial compressive strength of UHPC, projectile mass, projectile striking velocity, projectile diameter and projectile caliber-radius-head ratio on the final depth of penetration values of UHPC targets. Moreover, an empirical formula to predict the depth of penetration is derived according to the numerical simulated data, which can provide a reference for the design and evaluation of the UHPC protective structures against projectile penetrations.
