3D Numerical Simulation of Non-Energetic Reactive Armor

Farid Saeidi, Mert Can Kurt, Tansel Deniz and Ercan Gurses

Non-energetic reactive armors also called bulging armors are known for their effectiveness against shaped charges. These composite structures consist of two metal plates and an intermediate non-metallic layer. Soft materials like rubber or polymers are often preferred for the intermediate layer. In this paper, interaction of shaped charge jet with bulging armor is studied and the eects of material parameters of the intermediate layer are investigated by using 3d numerical simulations.
