Ballistic Performance Prediction for SC Jets.

30th International Symposium on Ballistics, 2017
The 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 composite metal foams

Composite Structures, 2015
Abstract 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 composite structures

Composite Structures, 2002
One of the materials commonly used in the aerospace and automotive industries is polymer-based composites. It also has potential for even greater usage. In this paper the ballistic impact performance of some polymer-based composites is experimentally considered.

Effect of Microstructure on the Ballistic Performance of Alumina

1971
Results 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.

Measuring the Blast and Ballistic Performance of Armor

2015
Abstract : 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 ...

Processing and Ballistic Performance of Al2O3TiB2 Composites

2008
Early 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.
