    This tutorial simulates a ball impacting an aluminum plate using Abaqus. Materials are defined for the steel ball and aluminum plate. An element deletion criterion is specified to allow rupture of the plate. The ball is given an initial velocity and the plate is fixed. Outputs including element status are requested to show deletion. The simulation is run and post-processed to visualize rupture of the plate as the ball impacts it.

    Tutorial 9:

    Ball to Plate Impact with Element


    Deletion
    Laurence Marks

    This tutorial accompanies covers a basic example of a ball being fired at an


    aluminium plate. Ann elemen
    element deletion criterion is defined and therefore the plate
    ruptures and allows the ball to pass through. It assumes some knowledge of
    Abaqus CAE – if there are concerns about some of the steps the content is
    covered in previous tutorials.

    1. Geometry Import
    Import the part geometry, Tutorial 9.sat. This contains the two parts,
    ts, the 3D solid
    ball and the 2D surface of the plate
    plate. The geometry was created in Solidworks, but
    could have been created in almost any CAD system, or simply in CAE.

    2. Instance the parts in the Assembly module.

    3. Define the material properties
    In this model the ball is considered to be a linear material with the modulus and
    density of steel. (210e3 N/mm2 and 7.8e
    7.8e-9 tonnes/mm3)

    The plate has some pretty arbitrary aluminium


    aluminium(ish) properties defined. Modulus =
    70e3N/mm2, Density = 2.5e
    2.5e-9.tonnes/mm3. A simple bi-linear
    linear material plasticity
    definition is used.

    nother fairly arbitrary set of material constants are defined for the element
    Another
    deletion criteria.. Displacement a
    at failure is defined using the Suboption
    uboption button.

    4. Define the sections and apply them to the parts
    A simple steel section is defined and appl
    applied
    ed to the ball. A shell section is defined
    for the plate as shown below.

    5. The Step
    As usual the step is where the type of analysis and the parameters to be used
    are set up. This is an explicit analysis and the step duration is 0.001s. All defaults
    are taken.

    6. Contacts
    The “catch all” general contact with the default All* with self option provides all
    the contact settings
    ings necessary. In this case a global interaction property defining
    a coefficient of friction of 0.1 is used.

    7. Boundary Conditions
    Fix the plate at the edge
    dge in all degrees of freedom. The balll is given an initial
    velocity, predefined field > mechan
    mechanical > velocity. Ensure the entire ball is
    selected and not just the outer surface, tthis
    his is best done using the assembly
    display options
    ions dialog to hide the plate
    plate. Define the Velocity: V3 = 40000mm/s

    The arrows indicate that an initial velocity has be


    been defined.

    8. Output Requests
    By default most outputs are provided – but to obtain post processing plots with
    the element deletion represented properly the user needs to select the “status”
    output variable. The results also animate in a more pleasing manner if 50 or
    even 100 output steps
    eps are defined.

    9. Create a job and submit it


    The usual process is used to create a job and submit it.

    10. Results post processing
    The default setting in the CAE post processing section plot
    plots the model
    mod with
    deleted elements omitted,, showing how the plate ruptures as it is impacted by the
    ball.
