Abstract: | In this paper, the ballistic performance of monolithic, double- and three-layered steel plates impacted by projectiles of different strength is experimentally investigated by a gas gun. The ballistic limit velocity for each configuration target is obtained and compared based on the investigation of the effect of the number of layers and the strength of projectiles on the ballistic resistance. The results showed that monolithic plates had higher ballistic limit velocities than multi-layered plates for projectiles of low strength regardless their nose shape, and also the ballistic limit velocities of plates decreased with the increase of the number of layers. Moreover, monolithic plates showed greater ballistic limit velocities than multi-layered plates for ogival-nosed projectiles of high strength, and also the ballistic limit velocities of plates decreased with the increase of the number of layers. However, monolithic plates had lower ballistic limit velocities than multi-layered plates for blunt-nosed projectiles of high strength, and also the ballistic limit velocities of plates increased with the increase of the number of layers. The differences in the ballistic limit velocities between various impact conditions can be related to the transitions of perforation mechanisms and failure models of plates and projectiles. |
