Abstract: Abstract: A dynamic constitutive model based on the tensile and the compressive damage models for concrete was developed and implemented into the three-dimensional finite element code, LS-DYNA. Numerical simulations of oblique penetration into reinforced concrete targets were performed using LS-DYNA. On the basis of the proposed model, the tensile and compressive damages of reinforced concrete after oblique penetration were observed and the deformation of reinforcing steel bars was obtained. Moreover, the depths of penetration for different oblique angles were obtained. The numerical results for the depth of penetration are in good agreement with existing experimental data.
