4 finite element models of ANSYS were constructed according to the masonry wall specimens of the experimental study. A material nonlinear finite element analysis by the finite element calculation software ANSYS on masonry walls strengthened by SGFRP under the horizontal cyclic loads combined with constant gravity loads was performed. The load-displacement curves of the models obtained from ANSYS simulation were described. The ultimate loads of the 3 models strengthened by SGFRP increased significantly, and the fiber length affect the bearing capacity and the deformation capacity of the wall. The results of the nonlinear finite element analysis of the models agree well to the experimental results. Some effective and reasonable reinforcement suggestions are proposed.

Aluminum Target

Studying the armor-piercing effect of armor-piercing bomb that attacks aluminum target is essential, because the target can be considered the simulation of the actual fight equipment. Based on the hypothesis about building the fraction field, the armor-piercing effect of armor-piercing bomb is analyzed, and the velocity and the intruding depth parameter model of armor-piercing effect are established. Taking a certain armor-piercing bomb as example, the intruding processes of armor-piercing effect are simulated by using the nonlinear finite element analysis program LS-DYNA, while aluminum target simulates the wall of combat equipment in two different conditions. At last, the finite element simulated results are given and analyzed that agree with the experiments.
