Abstract: This study examines the mechanical response of tungsten carbide under high-velocity impact conditions. Finite element analysis (FEA) simulations were conducted on a rectangular plate, both with and without the incorporation of tungsten carbide. The explicit dynamic simulations were executed using the Ansys LS-DYNA solver. A high-velocity projectile was simulated to impact the rectangular plate, and the resulting deformation behavior and induced stresses for both scenarios were analyzed and compared. The results demonstrate that the plate reinforced with tungsten carbide exhibits significantly higher resistance to deformation under high-velocity impact. Additionally, the stress levels induced in the tungsten carbide-reinforced plate were notably lower compared to the plate without tungsten carbide. These findings highlight the potential of tungsten carbide as a promising material for applications involving high-velocity impacts.
