On the ballistic performance of metallic materials
The paper presents a ballistic performance index for metallic armour materials in terms of the commonly determined mechanical properties such as strength and modulus. The index is derived using an energy-balance approach, where the kinetic energy of the projectile is assumed to be absorbed by the elastic and the plastic deformation involved in the ...

Ballistic and physical properties of highly fractured alumina [PDF]
It is known that ceramic materials in armour are often shattered by a penetrating projectile and the resistance to penetration is therefore dependent upon the properties of this failed material.

Ceramic array armor suffers from insufficient constrained capability of ceramic units in the embedded armor structure, leading to weak interfacial bonding at ceramic unit connections, significantly reducing the overall ballistic performance.

Optimizing the stacking sequence in dual-purpose body armors [PDF]
Many police body armor systems are dual purpose, offering both ballistic and knife resistanceby combining a flexible ballistic textile pack with a stiffer knife resistant layer.The two types of protection differ in materials and mechanisms such that each

On the evaluation of mechanical properties and ballistic performance of two variants of boron carbide [PDF]
A comparative study on the microstructure, rate-dependent compressive behavior, and ballistic performance of commercially available pressureless sintered boron carbide-titanium diboride (material Z) and hot-pressed boron carbide (material S) was ...

A study on the energy dissipation of several different CFRP-based targets completely penetrated by a high velocity projectile [PDF]
The threat of fragmenting munitions from MANPADS to civilian and military aircraft has, in recent years, become an ever increasing worry. One of the ways to enhance the protection of CFRP-based composites is to add lightweight materials that can provide ...

Optimizing the Thickness Configuration of Bilayer Alumina-Aluminum Armors
The ballistic performance of the armor against the projectile impact is affected by the armor configuration. This work investigates the ballistic performance of alumina-aluminum armor impacted by a 20 mm armor-piercing projectile using simulation. A semi-

Measuring the strength of brittle materials by depth-of-penetration testing [PDF]
Based on an energy conservation model, the strength offered by a number of brittle materials has been calculated from depth-of-penetration (DOP) test results. Each material was completely penetrated by a tungsten carbide cored projectile of known kinetic
