Simulation and Experimental Tests of Ballistic Impact on Composite Laminate Armor [PDF]
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2018 This paper presents the experimental testing and simulation results of ballistic impact tests on laminated armor samples that consist of three layers of different materials: fiber‐cement, Kevlar fabric, and steel. In experimental tests, a 9 mm FMJ bullet was launched towards a 100 cm2 sample of the armor from the fiber‐cement side.
