Abstract
Advance CFRP laminate is most commonly used for the development of the bulletproof vest under high-velocity impact due to the superior material properties. Finite element modelling is developed for the CFRP composite material under normal and oblique impacts. The general contact is applied between the rigid spherical projectile and the CFRP plate. Cohesive surface modelling is employed between the plies to predict the delamination failure. The damage initiation and propagation-based failure models are developed for the CFRP composites to determine the fibre and matrix failures. A convergence study was also performed for the CFRP composite plate and impactor using the 45,560 and 1653 elements, respectively. The ballistic limit result is compared with the literature results. The ballistic limit for the CFRP panel determined under the normal impact and oblique impact are 100 m/s and 120 m/s, respectively. An oblique impact load showed the CFRP composite panel resists more load in comparison to the normal impact load. The normal and oblique impact results are showed that the non-linear behavior of the residual velocity.
