Numerical Simulation Analysis of Penetration Performance of Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot to Steel Plate

Abstract

An armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot is used with a spare shell for 30 mm chain artillery. Due to the limited firepower of the bomb, the limited domestic shooting range, and the high public awareness of environmental protection, it is not easy to test the intrusion force. Therefore, an armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot is simulated and analyzed to optimize the design of tungsten composition to save research and development costs and improve ammunition performance. The key work of this research includes three parts: pre-work, armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot drawing, and numerical simulation analysis. Establishing a basic reference data system for ammunition specifications is currently being developed through finite element simulation analysis including the establishment of an armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot model and performing optimization design evaluation analysis.
