negligible. That is, for an RHA plate that conformsto MIL-A-12560H, specifyingits thickness
is sufficient in identifyingits properties.
The shock physicscode CTH (McGlaun et al. 1990) is used at the U.S. Army Research
Laboratory (ARL) to model ballistic impact and penetrationexperiments. The Johnson-Cook
strengthmodel (Johnsonand Cook 1983) is oneof severalstrengthmodels availablein CTH. It
is an empiricalmodelthat computesmaterial flow stressas a function of strain (work) hardening,
strain-ratehardening,andthermal softening. TheJohnson-Cookmodel takesthe following form:
where A, B, C, m, and n are constants,E is the equivalentplastic strain, ti* is the strain rate
nondimensionalizedby the reference strain rate of l/s, and T* is the nondimensional
temperature. ParameterA, the initial (E = 0) yield strengthof the material at a plastic strainrate
of k = l/s and room temperature(298 K), is modified by a strain-hardeningfactor (containing
parameters B and n), a strain-rate-hardeningfactor (containing parameter C), and a
thermal-softeningfactor (containingparameterm).
T’ is definedby
T-T,

where T, is room temperatureand T,,, is the melting temperatureof the material, 1,783K for
RHA. Equation(2) is the form usedin CTH andis valid for Tr I T I Tm,the regionof interestin
most ballistic applications,

CTH originally contained a single set of parametersthat had been typically used in
simulationsfor any thicknessof FW.A. Theseparameterswere taken from one of two data fits
for RHA presentedin Gray et al. (1994). Both of these fits (which will be discussed)were
determinedusing 2-in-thick FW4 that conformed to ML-A-12560H. The fits resulted in
overprediction of the quasi-static yield strength (A in equation [Xl). Their approach to
optimization was to considerall parameterssimultaneously. This approachto fitting the data
resulted in a model for the RHA that under-predictedthe depth of penetration of several
experiments; this is discussedin more detail later. In the present work, Johnson-Cook
parametersare developedfor that particularbatch of 2-in-thick RHA. The approachtaken here
is to fix the valueof A basedon the quasi-statictest data. Au optimum fit to the datafor eachof
the remainingparametersis thenfound individually, as suggestedby JohnsonandCook (1983).
2. Dynamic Data
To expediteprocessingtime andutilize all of the availabledata, the digital datawas not used
directly to obtain the Johnson-Cookparameters,rather it was fit to analyticalfunctionsthat were
suitableto the software availablefor useduring this study. The fits of the six datasetsare shown

The error incurredby approximatingthe data (equation[ 111)with the model (equation[83) at a
strain &i is ‘pi - Yi. Subscript i representsan arbitrary discretizationof the data into seven
strainscoveringthe rangeof the data(E = 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.08, 0.12,0.16, and 0.20). This was
doneto simplify the fitting procedure. In the least-squares
method,the error is squared(to avoid
having positive and negative errors combining arithmetically to reduce the total error) and
summedover the rangeof the data;the sumof the squarederrorsis to be minimized:
