Ceramic-metal hybrid structures have attracted significant attentions as protection structures
because of their high anti-penetration performance. In the present study, a ceramic-metal …

Ceramic array armor suffers from insufficient constrained capability of ceramic units in the
embedded armor structure, leading to weak interfacial bonding at ceramic unit connections …

Biomaterials that incorporate multiple synergistic structural design elements often
demonstrate superior overall mechanical properties. The armadillo bone structure has …

Due to the constant updates in armor materials and structures, as well as the continuously
increasing ballistic threats, higher requirements have been put forward for the ballistic …

Confined silicon carbide (SiC) plates covered with aluminium alloy, mild steel, and copper
alloy materials of different elastic impedances were subjected to normal impact by blunt …

This paper investigates experimentally and numerically methods to enhance the ballistic
performance of ceramic armor. Initially we demonstrate an experimental set-up to impose …

Mosaic armors are more easily adaptable to surfaces, may have a lower cost, and maximize
the preservation of their ceramic tiles after an impact. Although, the tile-to-tile interfaces are …

The elastic-plastic and structural phase transitions of silicon carbide (SiC) under
compression loading are investigated using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations …

The effect of prestress on the ballistic performance of bi-layer ceramic composite armors was
explored both experimentally and numerically. Three types of target plate with different …

Motivated by the active demand for the high performance and lightweight structures in the
protection fields, this study experimentally and numerically investigated the ballistic …
