FAILURE OF METALLIC-INTERMETALLIC MULTILAYERED COMPOSITES UNDER DYNAMIC LOADING
The behaviour of a multilayered target consisting of intermetallide Al <sub>3</sub>Ti - titanium alloy Ti-6-4 layers under high- velocity impact is investigated numerically by a finite element method in an axisymmetrical statement. A failure model of wide-range type is applied for the description of a failure process of intermetallide. The optimum ratio of thicknesses of the components of the composite layer is found for the investigated loading conditions.
