A facile method for the estimation of ceramic performance in light armor systems
International Journal of Ceramic Engineering & ScienceBallistic armor material development has been historically constrained by the limitations of existing predictive models. Traditional approaches, primarily reliant on finite element models, are not only computationally intensive but also often fall short ...

The ballistic performance of the bombard Mons Meg
Defence Technology, 2016 AbstractThe bombard Mons Meg, located in Edinburgh Castle, with a diameter of 19 inches (48 cm), was one of the largest calibre cannons ever built. Constructed in 1449 and presented to King James II of Scotland in 1454, Mons Meg was used in both military and ceremonial roles in Scotland until its barrel burst in 1680.

Measuring the strength of brittle materials by depth-of-penetration testing [PDF]
, 2010 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
