The main material of a type of multifunctional warhead is energy-containing material, which mainly relies on the projectile’s own kinetic energy to hit the target plate to achieve the function of penetrating reinforced concrete, so it needs the bullet material to have high strength and be able to withstand the high overload when penetrating reinforced concrete. At present, the composite energy-containing material structure with Al, Zr, Ti, and other materials as PTFE-based reducing agents is the mainstream direction of research on high-strength energy-containing materials. LS-DYNA is used to establish a simulation model to simulate and analyze the tapping power. The relationship curve between material strength and attack depth is established and compared with the experimental data of traditional steel material attack ammunition to finally determine the strength limit of energy-containing material compared with traditional attack ammunition. The simulation results show that the composite energy-containing material multifunctional projectile can accomplish the tapping task of penetrating 1.2 m reinforced concrete under the premise of ensuring that the percentage of

powder is not higher than 80%. This study has a certain reference value for the selection of energy-containing materials for multifunctional warheads. For the low-velocity penetration below 400 m/s, the effect of frictional resistance of the head as well as the sidewall on the penetration depth can be ignored, but the overload curve when considering the sidewall friction is more realistic. Using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods, the influence of the projectile material on the mass erosion of high-speed kinetic energy projectiles was studied, and the Jones erosion model based on the thermal melting principle was improved. Based on the cavity expansion theory, the calculation method of the shape evolution of the bullet head was established. The comparison with the experimental results shows that the improved model is applicable to different types of soft and hard materials and can accurately calculate the mass erosion amount, erosion depth, and shape evolution of the bullet head.
