Abstract This study introduces an innovative plug-in developed within the ABAQUS and Fox GUI environments, which is designed to streamline the design and simulation of hybrid composite laminates for ballistic impact resistance. The plug-in provides an advanced, user-friendly interface for composite laminate design, projectile selection, and ballistic impact simulation parameter configurations. It includes accurately reconstructed models of three projectile types: the tungsten-carbide core projectile M993, the hardened steel core projectile M61, and the lead-core projectile M80, based on scanned data. A distinctive feature of the plug-in is its capacity to facilitate the design of hybrid composite… More >
