Abstract
The ballistic impact response of fiber-reinforced composite/metal composite target (FMCT) under the impact of spherical projectile was studied by experimental and numerical methods. The residual velocity of the projectile, the failure modes and the energy absorption of the composite targets were analyzed. The effects of the projectile impact velocity and the target areal density on the ballistic impact response of the target were studied. The results show that the target configuration with the Kevlar composite front plate and the steel back plate has the better anti-penetration capability. Increasing the thickness of the Kevlar front plate and reducing the thickness of the steel back plate in a certain range can improve the anti-penetration capability of the FMCT target.
