Experimental Study on Penetration of Small Caliber Ammunition into Different Multilayer Compact Armors [PDF]
Abstract: Nowadays Lightweight armor is very important and used in many applications. Through this study, Penetration behavior was studied through two different types of armors. The first one produced was lightweight composite armor with reducing the number of layers to less than 25 layers of Kevlar using polyurethane rubber resin with high impact and ...
