Optimization of Light Weight Armor Using Experimental Data
Source abstract
Abstract
It is shown how the experimental data on ballistic limit velocity (BLV) of two-component ceramic target may be directly used for the analysis and optimization of the armor. The suggested approach is applied for two sets of data available in the literature.
