Comparison of Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Quasi-Static Punch Shear Test for Stainless Steel Sheet Material

In this study, Quasi-Static Punch Shear Test (QS-PST) for AISI-304 stainless steel sheet material with 0.5 mm thickness was performed experimentally and numerically, then the results were compared. QS-PST designed non-standard according to need is especially used determine puncture resistance of composite plate materials against low-speed loading. Since obtained from are similar those ballistic tests, has attracted attention researchers. The experimental study carried out by integrating die punch which specially produced test, into an electromechanical tensile-compression test device a capacity 100 kN. order define properties correctly in numerical analysis, tensile tests relevant also same device. Then, CAD model system generated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) performed. FEA, mesh structure determined as tetrahedral, since it gave closer such analyzes increasing number 16700 151800 elements. Finally, numerically compared observed that result very close depending on mesh.
