A Dynamic Impact Simulation Method for Titanium-Based Functionally Graded Composites Based on Abaqus/Explicit: Parametric Analysis, Mesh Strategy, Numerical Artifact Mitigation, and CAE Modeling
Homogeneous TC4 titanium alloy suffers from the strength–ductility trade-off and exhibits insufficient anti-penetration capacity under high-strain-rate impact. TiCp-reinforced functionally graded titanium matrix composites (FGTMCs) with a “hard outer, tough inner” gradient architecture are promising lightweight armor m...
