Johnson Holmquist Ceramics

The compression tests simulated for verification of determined jh 2 constants and finally validated by conducting the eoi simulations on glass plates to the spherical and cylindrical shaped projectile.

Johnson holmquist ceramics.

The armor structures were subjected to 7 62 mm ogive nosed steel projectile impact. The johnson holmquist ceramic constitutive model was first proposed to describe the response of brittle materials to large deformations. Ceramic materials are commonly used in armor protection applications.

In recent years johnson holmquist and their coworkers have developed a series of constitutive relations to simulate the response of ceramic materials under large strain high strain rate and high pressure impacting conditions. The johnson holmquist model for simulating impact and penetration into ceramic and glass materials is commonly used in continuum hydrocodes. The johnson holmquist model commonly used for cera mic materials was enhanced by riedel and co workers 30 31 leading to the rht model. Experimental results for aluminum nitride aln together with data available in the literature indicate that a mohr coulomb criterion and the johnson holmquist model fit the experimental data for failure in a brittle manner whereas the ceramic material exhibited pressure insensitive plastic flow at high pressures.

The johnson holmquist material model jh 2 with damage is useful when modeling brittle materials such as ceramics subjected to large pressures shear strain and high strain rates.

In order to define proper material behavior johnson holmquist ceramics material model for b 4 c and plastic kinematic material model for al6061 t6 4340 steel and epoxy resin was used.
