Three factors govern adiabatic shear localization: strain hardening (or softening), strain-rate
hardening, and thermal softening. It is typically associated with large shear strains (> 1), high …

The most commonly used ballistic ceramics (alumina, silicon carbide, and boron carbide)
are compared via various performance mechanisms in this review. This work aimed to study …

This paper presents a combined experimental and numerical study on the dynamic
response and failure mechanisms of honeycomb sandwich panels subjected to high-velocity …

Updated throughout for the new edition, Armour: Materials, Theory, and Design covers
extant and emergent protection technologies driving advances in armour systems. Covering …

Some modifications to the Holmquist–Johnson–Cook (HJC) model (1993) for concrete
under impact loading conditions are proposed. First, the pressure-shear behaviour is …

Dyneema® ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers are the strongest
and lightest fibers available. Its fiber composites are widely used in high-performance …

Ultralight sandwich structures with either two-dimensional (2D) prismatic or three-
dimensional (3D) lattice truss cores, such as honeycombs, folded panels (corrugations) and …

Composite body armor made of brittle ceramic and tough laminate can protect human body
from penetration while reducing weight. However, there is a lack of a simple and …

This paper presents a ballistic impact simulation of an armour-piercing projectile in hybrid
ceramic/fiber reinforced composite armour. The armour is composed by an alumina plate …
