The test conditions (3 mm thick targets, projectiles with different nose shapes at impact velocity lower than 400 m/s) result in severely damaged components, which results in an analysis of stress states showing material failure. Numerical analyses are performed using two material models: the Johnson-Cook approach, as traditionally used in impact simulations, accounting for the effect of stress triaxiality, strain rate and temperature and for comparison, a simulation by means of the stress triaxiality and Lode angle parameter-dependent Hosford-Coulomb model, also incorporating the effect of the strain rate on a fracture initiation. The aim of the study is to analyse the mechanisms of penetration and perforation observed in the armour steel plates and validation of the modelling approaches.}, type={Article}, title={Application of two fracture models in impact simulations}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/116298/PDF/17D_317-325_01315_Bpast.No.68-2_29.04.20_KA_TeX.pdf}, doi={10.24425/bpasts.2020.133120}, keywords={armour steel, Lode angle parameter, stress triaxiality, Hosford-Coulomb model, Johnson-Cook model}, }
