Influence of layer number and air gap on the ballistic performance of multi-layered targets subjected to high velocity impact by copper EFP
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of monolithic and multi-layered steel targets penetrated by EFP was investigated both experimentally and numerically, and the results showed that the monolithic target presents less effective than in-contact or spacing multi-layer targets as the dominant response of multilayer targets is global plastic deformation and bulging which involved bending and stretching behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deformation behavior of single and multi-layered materials under impact loading
TL;DR: In this article, a finite element simulation using Abaqus/explicit is performed to study the deformation behavior of materials under impact loading and various configurations including monolithic and multi-layered plate having combinations of ceramic, metal and composite material layers are investigated to determine the critical failure velocity V cf as a function of layer thickness and stacking.

Shaped charge penetrator into soil–concrete double-layered target
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the soil/concrete interface of a shaped charge penetrator in a soil-concrete double-layered target is discussed, and a theoretical model is presented to describe the penetration of shaped charge into soil and concrete double-layer targets.

Ballistic studies on layered structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the ballistic behavior and penetration mechanism of metal-metal and metal-fabric layered structures against 7.62-armour piercing projectiles at a velocity of 840-±-15-m/s at 30° angle of impact was presented.

Yunfei Deng,Wei Zhang,Z.M. Cao +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of the air gap between layers, the number, order and thickness of layers on the ballistic resistance of single, double-, three-, four-and six-layered plates impacted by hemispherical-nosed projectiles.

Applied High-Speed Plate Penetration Dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the power-law relationship between impact, residual and ballistic limit velocity is used to estimate the radius of impact, and the number of impact impacts against Fibre-Reinforced Plastic Laminates.

Experimental investigation on the ballistic performance of monolithic and layered metal plates subjected to impact by blunt rigid projectiles
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of impact tests were conducted to investigate the ballistic performance of monolithic and multi-layered metal plates subjected to impact by blunt rigid projectiles, and the results showed that the monolithic targets were more effective than layered targets when the dominant response of the targets was dishing which involved membrane stretching and the ballistic limit velocities of layered plates decreased with the increase of the number of layers.
