ABSTRACT
In the security sector, the partly insufficient safety of people and
equipment due to failure of industrial components are ongoing problems that
cause great concern. Since computers and software have spread into all fields
of industry, extensive efforts are currently made in order to improve the
safety by applying certain numerical solutions. This work presents a set of
numerical simulations of ballistic tests which analyze the effects of composite
armor plates. The goal is to improve fiber-reinforced plastics in order to be
able to cope with current challenges. Of course, the maximization of security
is the primary goal, but keeping down the costs is becoming increasingly
important. This is why numerical simulations are more frequently applied than
experimental tests which are thus being replaced gradually.
KEYWORDS
Solver technologies, simulation models, fiber-reinforced plastics, optimization, armor systems.
