The infrared signatures generated during fragment formation provide essential data for damage assessment, protective system design, and target identification. This study investigated an aluminum alloy blunt projectile penetrating a target plate by employing smoothed particle hydrodynamics to simulate the debris ejection thermal and infrared properties. The infrared signatures of the debris clouds were calculated using Mie scattering theory under a spherical particle approximation. The reverse Monte Carlo methodology was applied to solve the radiative transfer equations and quantify the infrared emission characteristics. The infrared radiation characteristics of the debris cloud were investigated for projectile impact velocities of 800, 1000, and 1200 m\/s. The results showed that the anterior debris regions reached peak temperatures of approximately 1200 K, with a temperature rise of 150\u2013200 K per 200 m\/s velocity increase behind the target. The medium-wave (3\u20135 \u03bcm) infrared intensity of the debris cloud was higher than the long-wave (8\u201312 \u03bcm) infrared intensity. The development of debris clouds enhanced the dispersion effect and slowed the increase in infrared radiation intensity in the same time interval. This study provides theoretical foundations for the dynamic infrared radiation characteristics of fragments generated by high-velocity projectile impacts. The infrared radiation characteristics within typical spectral bands can be utilized to assess hit probability and kill effectiveness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computation13100244","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,20]],"date-time":"2025-10-20T09:23:34Z","timestamp":1760952214000},"page":"244","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Numerical Study on Infrared Radiation Signatures of Debris During Projectile Impact Damage Process"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Wenqiang","family":"Gao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechatronic Engineering, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China"}]},{"given":"Teng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechatronic Engineering, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China"}]},{"given":"Qinglin","family":"Niu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechatronic Engineering, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Johnston, J.P., Pereira, J.M., Ruggeri, C.R., and Roberts, G.D.
