Abstract: Based on projectile-target separation method,numerical simulation method of 3D deformable travelling projectile penetrating into a pre-drilled target is proposed by using Forrestal semi-empirical resistance via user subroutine of ABAQUS. The reliability of user subroutine and simulation model is verified. The influences of offsetting, incidence angle and angle of attack on trajectory are analyzed. The results show that any influence factor affects the trajectory and penetration depth. The pre-drilled hole on target has significant oriented effect for the penetration of travelling projectile. Under the combined influence of offsetting, incidence angle and angle of attack, the pre-drilled hole on target has limitation in oriented function and a ricochet may occur under the condition of extreme impact.
