Project Title

Simulation of the Ballistic Impact of Nose Hull Armour of a Tank with an AP round using ANSYS and Optimizing Material Selection and Orientation for Maximum Protection

Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject Summary

The Project aims at the Simulation of high velocity impact of kinetic penetrators known as Armour Piercing Fin Stabilising Dart Sabots against the Rolled Homogeneous Steel Armour employed by HIT Taxila, for analysis of Armour defeat and penetration. The effect on penetration resistance of change in orientation is to be determined and several metallic armours are to be simulated. In addition to simulation, experimental validation of results is to be obtained, for which the armour materials are to be obtained and the specialized rounds are to be procured, which incurs the cost.
