| Abstract |
Ceramic composite armour in general utilises a front layer of dense ceramic, typically
backed by a second layer of metal. Thereby creating a sharp interface that is the weakest
link within the material system and would result in cracking of the ceramic prematurely and
hence not able to provide the requisite protection. One promising possibility has been found
is the use of functionally gradient materials as armour materials. In such materials, the high
hardness of ceramics is combined with the ductility of metals. Laboratory scale
experiments were being performed to exhibit the potential of this material in terms of
physical and mechanical properties. A comparison was made with the current ceramic
armour system and it was found that the new material system had better ballistic properties. |
