This paper presents an analysis of two cases, simulating the impact of a cylindical projectile on a perfectly rigid plate. One case is run without friction, the second one is run taking into account a friction coeficient between the plate and the projectile. The authors used for the projectile the same material constitutive model for both cases, based on experimental data and model developed by Johnson and Cook. Here, the comparing criteria were the maximum value of von Mises stress, the velocity and acceleration of the central point on the opposite face to the contact face of the projectile. Introducing friction, the simulation is more realistic. Taking into account friction, the projectile is less deformed and there was no edge breakage, at the same time moment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
