Abstract The definition of a complex operative scenario like ballistic damage, that introduces large strains and failure, is a current challenge in the design of critical mechanical components. Aerospace, automotive and manufacturing industries have recently increased their interest in numerical simulations with the long term aim to make these approaches not only reliable enough to reproduce the experimental results but also to provide a trustworthy and effective tool for design. To achieve this aim, the knowledge and calibration of material behaviour is required. Starting from a previous characterization of the constitutive law and ductile failure criterion More >
