Ballistic performance of multi-metal systems

International Journal of Protective Structures, 2020
Ballistic resistance enhancement of armours and structures has been a prominent area of research over the years. Monolithic metallic plates have been the preferred choice for armours against high-velocity projectiles. High-strength steel is a popular choice for such systems.

Performance analysis and enhancement of the ballistic range

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2007
The 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 ...

Ballistic performance of ceramic/composite structures

Ceramics International, 2019
Abstract 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.

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

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.

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.

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 ...
