Over the past several decades, a noticeable amount of research efforts has been directed to
minimising injuries and death to people inside a structure that is subjected to an impact …

The response of structures and materials subject to impulsive loads remains a field of
intense research. The dynamic loading and temperature increase affect the material's …

The stress–strain behaviour of extruded AA6xxx and AA7xxx aluminium alloys in T6 temper
was studied at a wide range of strain rates. Tensile tests at low to medium strain rates were …

A detailed investigation has been carried out for studying the constitutive behavior of Armox
500T steel and armor piercing incendiary projectile (API) material under varying stress state …

The stress–strain behaviour of the aluminium alloy 7075 in T651 temper is characterized by
tension and compression tests. The material was delivered as rolled plates of thickness 20 …

Mars® 300 is an ultrahigh hard armor (UHHA) martensitic steel designed for ballistic
protection. It is available in sheets of different thicknesses and also as perforated plates with …

The use of aluminium alloys in lightweight protective structures is increasing. Even so, the
number of experimental and computational investigations that give detailed information on …

This study aims to characterize the high strain rate constitutive behavior and the anisotropic
plasticity of three high strength aluminum sheet alloys, AA6013-T6, AA7075-T6 and a …

This study aims to investigate the flow and fracture behavior of aluminum alloy 6082-T6
(AA6082-T6) at different strain rates and triaxialities. Two groups of Charpy impact tests …

This paper concerns energy absorption in thin (0.4 mm) steel plates during perforation by
spherical projectiles of hardened steel, at impact velocities between 200 and 600ms− 1 …
