On the order of plates providing the maximum ballistic limit velocity of a layered armor [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Impact Engineering, 1999
Abstract The high-velocity impact of a three-dimensional rigid sharp impactor penetrating into a ductile layered armor is studied using a simplified model for an impactor–armor interaction. The goal of the study is to determine the order of the plates in the armor that provides the maximum ballistic limit velocity.

Empirical Ballistic Limit Velocity Model for Bi-Layer Ceramic–Metal Armor

International Journal of Protective Structures, 2015
An empirical model to estimate the ballistic velocity limit (BLV) of bi-layer ceramic–metal armor materials, considering momentum and energy balance during impact process, is proposed. Three ceramic materials as front layer, namely: alumina (Al2O3 96%) boron carbide (B4C) and silicon carbide (SiC) and three materials as backing layer, namely ...

Reduced ballistic limit velocity of graphene membranes due to cone wave reflection

Extreme Mechanics Letters, 2017
Abstract Recent microscale ballistic experiments have revealed that multilayer graphene membranes exhibit exceptionally high ballistic limit velocity and specific penetration energy. A key feature contributing to the exceptional performance of these systems is the cone wave that develops at impact, which propagates radially at a very high speed for ...

Two-scale modeling of high-velocity fragment GFRP penetration for assessment of ballistic limit

International Journal of Impact Engineering, 2017
Abstract The present paper deals with the ballistic testing and numerical modeling problems of fragment penetration of glass fabric/epoxy-phenolic (GFRP) laminates. Two laminates of different thickness (1.95 and 3.90 mm) were subjected to ballistic impact of 6.35 mm dia steel sphere as a fragment simulator at different velocities to get ballistic ...

A material point method model and ballistic limit equation for hyper velocity impact of multi-layer fabric coated aluminum plate

International Journal of Mechanics and Materials in Design, 2017
A multi-layer fabric coated aluminum plate is usually used in the hard upper torso of space suit to protect astronauts from getting hurt by space dust. In this paper, the protective performance of the multi-layer fabric coated aluminum plate is investigated.
