Ballistic Performance of Hybrid Structure Armor against Projectile

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the understanding of material characteristics and interaction between projectile and target, a lightweight hybrid composite armor target consisting of alumina ceramics pellets and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was designed and prepared. The target areal density of the armor panel was 7.5 g/cm2. The standard size of the armor panel was 150mm×150mm×43mm. The Ballistic Performance of Alumina/UHMWPE composite armor against an impact of 12.7 mm armor piercing (AP) projectile was investigated at the nominal velocity of 818 m/s. The energy absorbing mechanism revealed that the armor was able to protect against the projectile, together with weight saving.
