Effect of UHMWPE Fiber Laminate on Effective Protection Area of Ceramic Composite Target

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the effect of UHMWPE fiber laminate on effective protection area of ceramic composite target, a dynamic analysis software ANSYS/LS-DYNA was used to calculate the effective protection area of ceramic/aluminum/aluminum composite target and ceramic/UHMWPE/aluminum/ aluminum composite target, both of whose areal density were 139.5kg/m2, against 14.5mm armor piercing projectile at the speed of 1000m/s. The result showed that UHMWPE fiber laminates will increase the effective protection area by 64.4% for ceramic composite targets under the same areal density.
