Modeling of Thermomechanical Processes of Interaction of Multilayer Polymer Woven Barriers and a Solid Damaging Agent
The paper considers approaches to modeling woven materials and the processes of their interaction with the damaging agent. The simulation task is set at the design stage of light armor protection. It is noted that the existing computational and theoretical methods for modeling fast processes are mainly based on full-scale modeling of individual threads, which requires a supercomputer, or the presentation of layers in the form of a continuous medium, which excludes modeling of thread pulling. The prospects of using thermal methods are shown. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of applying a mathematical model to the assessment of energy absorption in polymer woven armored materials upon impact with a damaging agent.
