The armor structures were subjected to 7 62 mm ogive nosed steel projectile impact.
Johnson holmquist ceramics.
The johnson holmquist model for simulating impact and penetration into ceramic and glass materials is commonly used in continuum hydrocodes.

Experimental results for aluminum nitride aln together with data available in the literature indicate that a mohr coulomb criterion and the johnson holmquist model fit the experimental data for failure in a brittle manner whereas the ceramic material exhibited pressure insensitive plastic flow at high pressures.
The compression tests simulated for verification of determined jh 2 constants and finally validated by conducting the eoi simulations on glass plates to the spherical and cylindrical shaped projectile.
The constitutive behaviour of alumina ceramics at high strain rates was quantified using the johnson holmquist material model with damage jh 2 a widely accepted model for brittle materials subjected to high loading rates high pressure and large deformation.
The first version of the model jh 1 did not allow for progressive damage of the material.
The johnson holmquist ceramic constitutive model was first proposed to describe the response of brittle materials to large deformations.
The johnson holmquist material model jh 2 with damage is useful when modeling brittle materials such as ceramics subjected to large pressures shear strain and high strain rates.
In recent years johnson holmquist and their coworkers have developed a series of constitutive relations to simulate the response of ceramic materials under large strain high strain rate and high pressure impacting conditions.
Ceramic materials are commonly used in armor protection applications.
By incorporating the compression and tensile test data johnson holmquist ceramic jh 2 model parameters were estimated for aluminosilicate glass.
