We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

When I ran the program of forming a shaped jet with LSDYNA to penetrate the explosive reactive armor, I found that the explosives of the explosive reactive armor were also detonated at the same time as the armor-piercing projectile detonated. But the effect I wanted was that the jet formed by the armor-piercing projectile hit the explosive armor and caused the explosives of the reactive armor to explode, and after a few days of testing, I found that when the lsdyna version was R12.0.0, the program would achieve my expected effect, and when the lsdyna version was R13, R13.1, R14, R14.1, R15, the armor-piercing charge and the explosive reactive armor charge would detonate at the same time. In the test program I used S-ALE and used the *ALE_STRUCTURED_MESH_VOLUME_FILLING keyword to fill the liner and armor-piercing charges into the grid generated by the S-ALE keywords, and the charge and armor plates of the explosive reactive armor used the Lagrangian algorithm and coupled them with the *ALE_STRUCTURED_FSI keywords. In another test program, I changed the explosives of the reactive armor to be filled with *ALE_STRUCTURED_MESH_VOLUME_FILLING keywords. Both test programs had the error of simultaneous detonation of the armor-piercing charge and the reactive armor charge at the lsdyna version higher than R12.0.0. In both test procedures, the following keywords *MAT_HIGH_EXPLOSIVE_BURN and *EOS_JWL were used for the charge of armor-piercing shells, and *MAT_ELASTIC_PLASTIC_HYDRO and *EOS_IGNITION_AND_GROWTH_OF_REACTION_IN_HE were used for explosive reactive armor.
