Abstract
One of the promising methods for increasing the resistance of polymer composite materials to high-speed impact is the use of protective shockproof coatings. At the same time, over the past two decades, polyurea have been gaining noticeable popularity among such coatings. This work is devoted to study the effect of polyurea coating of 1.2 mm thickness on ballistic resistance characteristics of glass-fibre reinforced layered polymer of 8.5 mm thickness. During the experiments thirteen composite targets was affected by high-speed impact loading in the range of 80…150 m/s by spherical steel projectile of 23.8 mm diameter. It was shown that using the polyurea coating can increase the ballistic limit by 19% increasing the mass of the target only by 7%. Dynamic strain and displacement fields on the back surface of the target was obtained using digital image correlation method for 81.2 m/s collision process.
