Abstract
The interest regarding use of extruded aluminium panels as lightweight protective structures is cmrently increasing. Even
so, there are few experimental and computational investigations considering such structures. This paper presents some perforation
tests on AA6005-T6 aluminium panels impacted by ogival-nose steel projectiles, where special emphasis was paid to the determination
of the ballistic limit. Moreover, a material test programme including high strain rate tests using a split-Hopkinson tension
bar was carried out in order to calibrate the Johnson-Cook constitutive model. Results from numerical analyses with LS-DYNA
are finally included.
