Micro Abstract:
Material and protective properties of the Mars® 300 steel are analyzed to understand the steel behavior under impact loadings. To validate the flow and fracture model (the Hosford-Coulomb model), a numerical simulation of the impact configuration is performed in which the striker and target are made of the Mars® 300 steel. As targets, plates perforated by an array of holes applied as passive add-on armors in combat vehicles - are considered.
