Abstract

With the widespread application of carbon fiber composite materials in the military domain, establishing a penetration engineering model for spherical fragments against carbon fiber composite materials is of paramount significance to meet the needs of protective structure design for weapon systems and vulnerability studies of targets. Experimental research was conducted to analyze the failure modes and energy absorption mechanisms of carbon fiber composite materials at different impact angles and target plate thicknesses. Based on this analysis, an engineering model for calculating the ballistic limit velocity and residual velocity of fragments was established and validated through comprehensive comparisons within a wide range of projectile and target parameters. The study reveals that under high-speed impact conditions, the failure modes of carbon fiber composite laminates include shear plug failure, fiber tensile fracture, laminate fragmentation, and delamination. The variation in fragment impact angles has no significant impact on the laminate failure mechanisms. For spherical fragments of different materials and carbon fiber composite laminate plates, within the range of 0
