Quasi-Static and Dynamic Ballistic Damage Mechanisms in Confined Ceramic Tiles
نویسنده
چکیده
Quasi-static and dynamic damage mechanisms in alumina tiles were investigated. The tiles were under a variety of boundary conditions at the tile's edges during impact NATO 0.3 cal. AP rounds with hardened and sharpened steel core were used. The alumina tile samples were 50x50 mm2 area, the thicknesses ranging from 5 to 12 mm. 'he tiles were mounted in a special confinement frame, which enabled to investigate the failure mechanisms under a large variety of boundary conditions. Steel and Spectra composite were used as backing plates, for their distinct modulus of elasticity and acoustic impedance. Three different support configurations were used: semi-infmite, thick walled, and simply supported.

متن کاملBallistic Performance of Hybrid Armor with Ceramic Inserts and Polymeric Matrix for Different Threat Levels (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Ceramic materials due to their high compressive strength and hardness have been one of prime candidates in armor design in particular when high level threads (impact velocity above 600m/s) are involved. The aim of this work is to investigate ballistic impact resistance potential for a target plate with novel ceramic inserts as against ceramic tiles. Two size 98% alumina (AL2O3) base ceramic i...
متن کاملBallistic 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 ...
متن کاملQuasi-static and Dynamic Torsion Testing of Ceramic Coatings Using High-speed Photography
A novel experimental procedure for the testing of ceramic coatings in quasi-static and dynamic torsion is presented. The tests were performed on a Kolsky bar apparatus modified for torsion loading. High-speed photography was used to take snapshots of the surface of the specimen gage during loading, and digitally correlated to determine the full displacement and strain fields. Microand nanoAl2O3...
متن کاملImplementation and Validation of the Johnson-Holmquist Ceramic Material Model i
Ceramic materials are commonly used in protective armour applications and may be subject to high-energy ballistic impacts in these situations. Under simple loading conditions, ceramics may be regarded as elastic-brittle materials. However, when considering ballistic impacts, the post-yield response of the ceramic becomes significant. One of the most widely used constitutive models for simulatin...
