Abstract

Experimental results of studying the hypervelocity impact on isotropic heterogeneous composites consisting of an epoxy or aluminum matrix containing fine-grained metal (Al, Pb) or ceramic (SiO 2) inclusions are given. The aim of the study is to develop composite materials offering higher penetration resistance to a high-velocity projectile than the component material. This resistance is characterized by the magnitude of the ratio of the crater depth in a thick target to the diameter of spherical projectile. In the case of two particulate composites studied it is shown that the crater depth from impact of steel projectiles is lower about by one projectile diameter than for homogeneous lead or aluminum over the impact velocity ranged from 3 up to 11 km/s.
