Abstract

The article contains a comparison of selected numerical methods describing the structure of polymer composite. This work focuses on different FEM modeling methods using homogenization of composite material parameters. The estimation is based on comparing visual results of real ballistic test and numerical simulations. The main goal of this comparison is estimation of computer description accuracy of ballistic impact by 9 mm projectile type Luger.
