I need a complete, reproducible ANSYS Workbench/LS-Dyna model that shows how a bullet penetrates a three-layer ballistic plate (ceramic front, composite middle, aluminium backing) when struck at a constant velocity. My main interest is the deformation history of each layer, but I also want hard numbers on residual penetration depth and a clear comparison of how alternative material grades or lay-ups would behave under the same conditions. You will be working with the integrated LS-Dyna material library, so please apply appropriate Johnson-Cook or similar high-strain-rate models for the projectile and each plate layer. Contact definitions, erosion criteria and hourglass control need to be chosen carefully so the results remain stable through complete perforation. Deliverables • ANSYS project file with fully parameterised geometry, meshing strategy and LS-Dyna load case for a constant-velocity impact. • Post-processing files (plots, animations) highlighting layer-by-layer deformation and failure modes. • Spreadsheet or table summarising numerical penetration depths and a brief comparison of at least two material variants. • Short report explaining modelling assumptions, material cards, boundary conditions and key findings. I will validate the model by running it on my own workstation, so all settings must be documented and no third-party add-ons should be required. If anything is unclear, let me know before starting; accuracy is more important than speed.

Hi, As an Aerospace Engineer with a specialized focus on structural reliability and high-rate dynamics, I am prepared to deliver a robust, reproducible ANSYS/LS-Dyna model of your three-layer ballistic plate assembly. Why My Engineering Fits This Ballistic Scope - I am proficient in the application of Johnson-Cook and Material Model 54/55 (for composites) within the LS-Dyna environment. - I specialize in the stability of high-velocity impact simulations. I will implement a robust contact definition, carefully tuned with appropriate Hourglass control and Erosion criteria to prevent numerical instabilities during complete perforation. - I will provide a fully parameterized project that allows you to swap material grades or lay-up thicknesses—such as comparing Al-6061-T6 vs. Al-7075. Proposed Plan - Building a parameterized three-layer assembly with a refined mesh at the impact zone to capture high-gradient stresses. - Assigning appropriate Johnson-Cook (MAT_015) and composite failure models for the ceramic and backing plates. - Running the constant-velocity impact case and verifying energy balance to ensure no unphysical energy growth. - Comparing the baseline design against two alternative material configurations to identify the most weight-efficient ballistic lay-up. When would you like to share the specific projectile geometry and material grades so I can begin the initial mesh audit? Best regards, Batuhan Akkova
