Numerical modeling of interaction of the aircraft engine with concrete protective structures

The paper presents numerical modeling results considering interaction of Boeing 747 aircraft engine with nuclear power station protective shell. Protective shell has been given as a reinforced concrete structure with complex scheme of reinforcement. The engine has been simulated by cylinder projectile made from titanium alloy. The interaction velocity has comprised 180 m/s. The simulation is three-dimensional solved by finite element method using the author’s own software package EFES. Fracture and fragmentation of materials have been considered in calculations. Program software has been assessed to be used in calculation of multiple-contact objectives.
