The use of aluminium alloys in lightweight protective structures is increasing. Even so, the number of experimental and computational investigations that give detailed information on such problems is limited. In an earlier paper by some of the authors, perforation experiments were performed with 1530 mm thick AA5083-H116 aluminium plates and 20 Turn diameter, 98 mm long, HRC 53 conical-nose hardened steel projectiles. In all tests, initial and residual velocities of the projectile were measured and the ballistic limit velocity of each target plate was determined. In the present paper, an analytical perforation model based on the cylindrical cavity-expansion theory has been reformulated and used to calculate the ballistic perforation resistance of the aluminium plates. In addition, non-linear finite element simulations have been carried out. The target material was modeled with the Johnson-Cook constitutive relation using 2D axisymmetric elements with adaptive rezoning. To allow ductile hole growth, a pin-hole was introduced in the target. The analytical and numerical results have been compared to the experimental findings, and good agreement was in general obtained. A parametric study was also carried out to identify the importance of the different terms of the Johnson-Cook constitutive relation on the perforation resistance of the target. The results indicate that thermal softening cannot be neglected, so an alternative procedure for identification of the material constants in the power-law constitutive relation used in the cavity-expansion theory has been proposed.
