  Hello,
  
  I am trying to properly characterize either AR500 or MIL-A-46100 armor in Ansys. I have entered the density, tensile properties, linear elasticity, and the Johnson-Cook strength properties for these materials however when I do an impact analysis on the material they do not perform as expected. I am modeling these for explicit dynamics.
  
  Are there additional properties that I should be including or does someone have a material file for one of these?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Matt
