Mechanical analysis of helmeted headforms under ballistic impact with implications in performance evaluation of ballistic helmets

Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2023
Behind helmet blunt trauma is a significant health concern in modern warfare. The ballistic response of the human head under ballistic impact is highly sought. Towards this end, we conducted ballistic experiments on three different headforms.

Dynamic mechanical response and failure behaviour of AlMgB14-based ceramic: experimental observation, constitutive modelling and ballistic performance evaluation

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
AlMgB14-based ceramics have emerged as promising materials for ballistic protection due to their ultra-hardness and low density. However, their dynamic mechanical behaviour and ballistic performance remain underexplored.

Effect of Periphery Fixity on Ballistic Limit of Thin Aluminum Plate Subjected to Blunt and Ogival Projectile Impact

International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2014
Three-dimensional numerical simulations were carried out with the ABAQUS/explicit finite element code to study the influence of target boundary conditions on its ballistic limit. 1mm thick 1100-H12 aluminum target of 255 mm span diameter was hit by 19 mm

Simplified simulation of impact bullet - stratified pack for restraining ballistic tests [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
This paper presents a macro FEM isothermal model for simulating the impact of a 9 mm FMJ bullet on a stratified packs in order to restrain the preliminary tests for actual stratified packs made of layers of Twaron LFT SB1plus (Teijin), taking into account the friction between layers and between bullet and layers, in order to obtain the number of layers

Ballistic Performance Evaluation of Aluminium Plate Impact by Fragment Simulating Projectile

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020
Abstract The ballistic performance has drawn attention to researchers from a military background. They intend to provide solutions to ensure the soldiers in the front line of war do not kill in action. A casualty in war can lead to depression among soldiers and not to mention to their family as well.
