The aim of this paper was to present the main aspects of the numerical modelling within the scope of penetration/perforation problems. The most important stages of the computer model development were discussed in detail. They include the study of the hypervelocity impact physics, selection of the numerical solution method, problem discretization in time (time step) and space (mesh/grid), constitutive models consideration, Initial Boundary Conditions (IBC) and finally choice of the results form for analysis and discussion. The Computer simulations were performed with the Element Free Galerkin Method (EFG) implemented in LS-DYNA code. An impact of the 12. 7x108 mm B32 armour piercing projectile on the selected targets was analyzed. Full SD models of the projectile and targets were developed with strain rate and temperature dependent material constitutive relations. The models of the projectile, ceramic and aluminium alloy targets were validated with utilization of the experimental infield tests and data found in literature. The obtained results confirm that EFG method can be considered for numerical solving of the penetration/perforation problems. The errors in Depth of Penetration have not exceeded 20% as compared numerical and experimental results. The conclusions presented in this paper can be applied to develop modern impact protection panels where the appropriate balance between the mass and protection level must be accomplished.
