The effect of hybridization on the ballistic impact behavior of hybrid composite armors

In the present study, effect of hybridization on the hybrid composite armors under ballistic impact is investigated using hydrocode simulations. The hybrid composite armor is constructed using various combinations and stacking sequences of fiber reinforced composites having woven form of fibers specifically high specific-modulus/high specific-strength Kevlar fiber (KF), tough, high strain-to-failure fiber Glass fiber (GF) and high strength/high stiffness Carbon fiber (CF). Different combinations of composite armors studied are KF layer in GF laminate, GF layer in KF laminate, KF layer in CF laminate and CF layer in KF laminate at various positions of hybridized layers for a fixed thickness of the target. In this article the results obtained from the finite element model are validated for the case of KF layer in a GF laminate with experimental predictions reported in the literature in terms of energy absorption and residual velocity and good agreement is observed. Further, the effect of stacking sequence, projectile geometry and target thickness on the ballistic limit velocity, energy absorbed by the target and the residual velocity are presented for different combinations of hybrid composite armors. The simulations show that, at a fixed thickness of the hybrid composite armor, stacking sequence of hybridized layer shows significant effect on the ballistic performance. The results also indicate energy absorption and ballistic limit velocity are sensitive to projectile geometry. Specifically, it is found that arranging the KF layer at the rear side, GF layer in the exterior and CF layer on the front side offers good ballistic impact resistance. The hybrid composite armor consisting of a CF layer in KF laminate acquires maximum impact resistance and is the best choice for the design compared to that of other combinations studied.     

Aluminum foam integral armor: a new dimension in armor design

Closed-cell aluminum foam offers a unique combination of properties such as low density, high stiffness, strength and energy absorption that can be tailored through design of the microstructure. During ballistic impact, the foam exhibits significant non-linear deformation and stress wave attenuation. Composite structural armor panels containing closed-cell aluminum foam are impacted with 20-mm fragment-simulating projectiles (FSP). One-dimensional plane strain finite element analysis (FEA) of stress wave propagation is performed to understand the dynamic response and deformation mechanisms. The FEA results correlate well with the experimental observation that aluminum foam can delay and attenuate stress waves. It is identified that the aluminum foam transmits an insignificant amount of stress pulse before complete densification. The ballistic performance of aluminum foam-based composite integral armor (CIA) is compared with the baseline integral armor of equivalent areal-density by impacting panels with 20-mm FSP. A comparative damage study reveals that the aluminum foam armor has finer ceramic fracture and less volumetric delamination of the composite backing plate as compared to the baseline. The aluminum foam armors also showed less dynamic deflection of the backing plate than the baseline. These attributes of the aluminum foam in integral armor system add a new dimension in the design of lightweight armor for the future armored vehicles.     

织物弹道贯穿性能分析计算

纤维织物增强复合材料由于轻质和高冲击损伤容限而在防弹装甲设计及制造中逐渐得到应用,如人体防弹衣和车辆防护装甲。但是尚无较好的方法直接计算复合材料防弹特性,其中困难在于复合材料弹道冲击过程中的应变率效应和冲击破坏机理至今没有被揭示。解决问题的第一步是建立复合材料增强相(即织物)防弹特性计算方法。提出基于纤维力学性质应变率效应的织物弹道冲击破坏分析模型,计算不同面密度织物靶体在弹道贯穿过程中的弹体剩余速度,由此反映靶体防弹特性。用本文中提出的简单算法预测的结果与实测结果在靶体厚度不大时极为接近,而且也有可能将其扩展到纤维织物增强复合材料防弹性质的计算。

The capability of the laminate to absorb ballistic impact energy was influenced by the impact velocity and the laminate areal density. Two kinds of penetration were compared and a two-step model for the penetration was proposed.

Ballistic impact and explosive blast resistance of stitched composites

The effectiveness of stitching in increasing the damage resistance of polymer composites against ballistic projectiles and explosive blasts is determined. Glass-reinforced vinyl ester composites stitched in the through-thickness direction with thin Kevlar®-49 yarn were impacted with a bullet travelling at 0.9 km s⁻¹ or an underwater explosive shock wave moving at 1.5 km s⁻¹. The amount of delamination damage to the composite caused by a ballistic projectile was reduced slightly with stitching. Stitching was highly effective in increasing the damage resistance against explosive blast loading. The increased damage resistance was due to the stitching raising the Mode I interlaminar fracture toughness of the composite. While the stitched composites experienced slightly less damage, their flexural modulus and strength was similar to the properties of the unstitched composite after ballistic impact testing. The post-blast flexural properties of the stitched composites, on the other hand, were degraded less than the properties of the unstitched material.     

A new concept of shock mitigation by impedance-graded materials

Over the last several decades, homogenous single-layer armor has been replaced by multi-layer integral armor to improve ballistic penetration resistance. This has led to better attenuation of shock wave energy by multiple interface reflections and transmissions. Efforts have been reported to improve the penetration resistance by providing higher energy dissipation at higher levels of impedance mismatch. However, high stress concentrations and stress reversals have made these interfaces the primary sources of failure. This paper discusses a concept for a new class of blast and penetration resistant (BPRM) materials which are layer-less but designed to have a continuous gradient of impedance that can dissipate the shock energy without material failure. In a simplistic approach by applying the classical theory of uniaxial stress propagation, it has been shown that attenuation of the stress wave energy would be possible by controlling the impedance distribution within the body of such a material. The development of such material to resist blast or impact will overcome the current common difficulty of interfacial delamination failure in any protective barrier system or armors.
