FAILED JAVELIN SIMULATION
Applique armor (ERA thickness equivalent) Penetration Simulation Analyzing a failed Javelin missile launch from the ground to air using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) requires a multi-step approach involving physics, engineering principles, and simulation techniques. While I can provide a general outline of the process, please note that specific details will depend on the actual data…
A Study of Aerodynamic Characteristics of an Anti-tank Missile
Chun-Chi Li, Wei-Chan Hong Abstract—The present study applied computational fluid dynamics to a type of contemporary antitank missile capable of entering into a unique top-attack mode, and explored the differences in the aerodynamic properties of the missile with its tailfins swinging at various angles. Simulation results indicated that the drag coefficient increased with the angle…

Modeling Armor Penetration
by Ed Cort Armor and anti-armor technology is becoming increasingly complex, forcing weapons designers to rely more and more on computermodeling. For years, computer simulations of armor penetration contributed only modestly to armor development compared, say, to the role of computational fluid dynamics in the aircraft and aerospace industries. However, computer modeling is becoming a…
High Explosive Anti Tank Simulation
Ballistic testing is a vital part of the armor design. However, it is impossible to test every condition and it is necessary to limit the number of tests to cut huge costs. With the introduction of hydrocodes and high performance computers; there is an increasing interest on simulation studies to cutoff these aforementioned costs. This…
