Ballistic Performance Prediction for SC Jets.
30th International Symposium on Ballistics, 2017The performance of a shaped charge warhead is usually predicted based on an experimentally determined standoff curve valid for a specific target material. However, with the increased variety of target compositions the traditional “shoot and score” approach is not feasible anymore – neither financially nor with respect to time. In this paper, a combined

Ballistic performance of ceramic/composite structures
Ceramics International, 2019Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the ballistic behavior of ceramic/composite structures with different thicknesses and different reinforcements, numerically. The guns were shot at four different velocities on composite models using armor-piercing 7.62 M61 AP projectiles.

Performance analysis and enhancement of the ballistic range
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2007The ballistic range has long been employed in a variety of engineering fields such as high-velocity impact engineering, projectile aerodynamics, and aeroballistics, since it can create an extremely high-pressure state in a very short time. Of many different types of ballistic ranges developed to date, a two-stage light-gas gun is being employed most ...

Measuring the Blast and Ballistic Performance of Armor
2015Abstract : This report relates to the discovery and development by the authors of armor designs using certain elastomers applied as coatings to the front side of rigid substrates, to increase the ballistic and blast performance of armor. This has led to much activity intended to optimize and exploit the technology for various applications, both ...

The influence of projectile hardness on ballistic performance
International Journal of Impact Engineering, 1999The ballistic performance of 17 penetrator materials, representing 5 distinct steel alloys treated to various hardnesses along with one tungsten alloy, has been investigated. Residual lengths and velocities, as well as the ballistic limit velocities, were determined experimentally for each of the alloy types for length-to-diameter (L/D) ratio 10 ...

Processing and Ballistic Performance of Al2O3TiB2 Composites
2008Early research on Al 2 O 3 /TiB 2 composites focused on exploiting their potential as a low cost armor ceramic. Limited ballistic data indicated that the microstructure had a dramatic effect on ballistic performance. In some cases, the penetration resistance of Al 2 O 3 /TiB 2 approached that of monolithic TiB 2 ceramics.

Ballistic performance of composite metal foams
Composite Structures, 2015Abstract The application of advance materials to manufacture hard armor systems has led to high performance ballistic protection. Due to its light-weight and high impact energy absorption capabilities, composite metal foams have shown good potential for applications as ballistic armor.

Ballistic impact performance of metallic targets
Materials & Design, 2012Abstract Performance of metallic targets under ballistic impact loading is presented. The entire ballistic impact event considering target performance can be divided into dynamic plastic penetration, spherical bulge formation, bulge advancement, plug formation and exit and projectile exit. Velocity, displacement, force, deceleration of the projectile

Effect of Microstructure on the Ballistic Performance of Alumina
1971Results of a study of various dense Al2O3 bodies using a 22-caliber fragment simulator are presented showing that there is no significant correlation of ballistic performance with static tensile strength, surface finishes or single crystal orientations.
