An Experiment Study on Woven Fiber Reinforced Rubber Composite Armor against Shaped Charge Jet

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rubber composite armor panels have been used for many years as very efficient add-on armor against shaped charge warheads. In this work, we did some DOP test about four types woven fiber reinforced rubber composite armor against shaped charge jet and explained the origin of the disturbances on the jet due to the interaction with the forward plate. The results of DOP test showed that the Kevlar or PBO woven fiber reinforced rubber composite armor performs better than E-glass and carbon types.
