Abstract

In order to understand the dynamic response of the material /structural geometry interaction in gradient composite armor systems, 3D finite element analysis is performed to simulate the structural behavior of the multi-component composite armors. Ballistic resistance is studied for a developed plain woven composite plate model, with and without ceramic facing layer, for impacting velocities ranging between 1O and 1OOO m/s. Materials properties and geometry effects are explored. (Author)
