Abstract:
      Objective To study damage effect of high speed projectile on the structure of aircraft fuel tank. Methods A dynamic analysis model for high-speed projectile impact on water-filled fuel tank was established based on LS-DYNA finite element analysis software and the theory of smooth particle hydrodynamics. The dynamic impact response and damage effect of the fuel tank structure under different projectile impact velocity and different liquid filling ratio were analyzed. Results The liquid filling ratio had little effect on the velocity attenuation of the projectile. The projectile speed and the liquid filling ratio had significant effects on dynamic impulse response of the fuel tank structure. With the increase of the projectile velocity, the deformation of the front and back plates increased gradually. With the increase of the proportion of filling, the deformation of the structure also increased gradually and the damage was more serious. In addition, the deformation of partially filled aircraft fuel tanks was significantly less than that of the fully filled fuel tank. Conclusion Damage of the aircraft fuel tank increased with the increase of liquid filling proportion and projectile velocity.
