Modelling of Ballistic Impact over a Ceramic-Metal Protection System

Ballistic Impact on Ceramic/aramid Armour Systems

The ballistic performance of the lightweight armour systems was examined to obtain an estimate for the V50 and the global damage of the composite plates. All estimates were performed by varying the thickness of ceramic tiles, while maintaining equal areal density of the system. Simulation predictions and trial results is demonstrated both in terms of deformation and damage of the laminates and ...

Joint Design for Advance Ceramic Armor under Ballistic Impact

The objective of this research is to develop a new methodology with software tools for the joint design of an advanced composite armor (ACA) under ballistic impact and other loading conditions. An innovative design methodology, topology optimization, is extended for the composite armor joint design problem. This includes ballistic impact analyses of the ACA, function analyses and targets settin...

Numerical Simulation of Fluid Flow over a Ceramic Nanoparticle in Drug Delivery System

In this work, for better understanding of drug delivery systems, blood flow over a ceramic nanoparticle is investigated through microvessels. Drug is considered as a nanoparticle coated with the rigid ceramic. Due to the low characteristic size in the microvessel, the fluid flow is not continuum and the no-slip boundary condition cannot be applied. To solve this problem lattice Boltzmann method...

Numerical analysis of low velocity impact on ceramic-metal-composite targets

In the present paper, the problem of low velocity impact of plates made from different configurations of ceramic, aluminum, steel and composite (S-glass polyester) is analyzed numerically using  Abaqus finite element software. The projectile is assumed to be a rigid body with a hemispherical head. Also, for ceramic layers, Holmquist constitutive model, for aluminum and steel layers, Johnson Coo...
