Abstrakt: This paper presents a study using numerical simulation of bullet impact on rubber panels in order to investigate the depth of penetration into the panels. The study was conducted using a finite element analysis (FEA) software, MSC Dytran. The simulation was conducted with rubber panel of varying thicknesses and values of elastic coefficient Constant A (CA) in the Mooney-Rivlin rubber model. The simulation results show that the rubber panel with thickness of 500 mm and CA of 1.4 x 0.89 MPa is suitable to be used as bullet stopper because it allows the bullet to penetrate and be trapped bullet inside it. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that rubber can be considered as a potential material to be selected as bullet stopper provided that the appropriate geometry and configuration of the panel are chosen.
