An　experimental-numerical　investigation　on　the　ballistic　perforation　of　aluminosilicate　glass　tiles　is　presented　in　this　study.　A　gas　gun　has　been　used　to　launch　steel　projectiles　with　assorted　nose　shapes　including　flat,　spherical,　and　conical　into　aluminosilicate　glass　tiles.　It　is　found　that　the　residual　velocity　of　projectiles　and　the　fragmentation　behavior　of　glass　are　strongly　affected　by　the　shape　of　the　projectile　nose.　A　coupled　FEM-SPH　numerical　model　is　built　to　reproduce　the　ballistic　impact　behavior　of　aluminosilicate　glass.　The　Johnson-Holmquist　Ⅱ　(JH-2)　constitutive　model　is　utilized　to　describe　the　rate-dependent　mechanical　behavior　of　the　glass　tiles.　The　glass　tile　model　adopts　the　transformation　of　the　finite　elements　into　smoothed-particle　hydrodynamics　(SPH)　elements　when　the　failure　criterion　is　met.　This　numerical　method　was　validated　by　comparing　with　quasi-static　compression,　Brazilian　tension,　three-point-bending　and　dynamic　SHPB　tests　data.　The　ballistic　results　from　the　numerical　simulations　are　compared　with　experimental　data　showing　good　performance　in　predicting　the　projectile　residual　speed,　glass　tile　inelastic　deformation　and　fragmentation　process.　Finally,　the　effect　of　projectile　deflection　angle　and　tile　thickness　on　the　ballistic　behavior　of　glass　is　investigated　via　the　proposed　model　numerically.　©　2023　Elsevier　Ltd　and　Techna　Group　S.r.l.
