Ceramic materials have been extensively used as armour materials for nearly 50 years and
continue to attract great interest in the field of defense technology. As confinement is crucial …

Glass is an omnipresent material which is widely used as façade in buildings. Damage of
glass windows and the associated glass fragments induced by impact and blast loads …

The purpose of this review is to introduce the interested reader to the literature on the use of
silica glasses in ballistic applications. These applications include optically transparent …

In this research, the dynamic response and energy absorption characteristics of four different
types of commercially available glass have been investigated experimentally. Soda lime …

Stress concentrations near grain boundaries, precipitates, and similar micro‐heterogeneities
nucleate instabilities leading to macroscale fracture. As it is not practical to model each flaw …

Understanding the damage progression in aluminosilicate glass against impact loading is
all-important for the design of a transparent structure. The Edge-on impact (EOI) experiments …

This article describes two different techniques utilized to characterize intact and damaged
borosilicate glass at pressures up to∼ 2 GPa: triaxial compression and confined sleeve. The …

We investigated the uniaxial compressive behavior of damaged and intact alumina using
quantitative X-ray computed tomography (XCT) analysis coupled with digital image …

Post‐test microscopy evaluations were performed on borosilicate (B orofloat® 33) and soda‐
lime (S tarphire®) glass specimens following confined compression tests. These included …

This article summarizes the characterization work performed on intact and predamaged
boron carbide tested in compression under confinement in a pressure vessel or using a thick …
