Abstract
A series of hypervelocity impact tests on stainless steel mesh/aluminum plate multi-shock shield were practiced with a two-stage light gas gun facility. Impact velocity was approximately 4km/s. The diameter of projectiles was 6.4mm. The impact angle was 0°. The fragmentation and dispersal of hypervelocity particle against stainless steel mesh bumper varying with mesh opening size and the wire diameter were investigated. It was found that the mesh wall position, diameter of wire, separation distance arrangement and mesh opening had high influence on the hypervelocity impact characteristic of stainless steel mesh/aluminum plate multi-shock shields. When the stainless steel mesh wall was located in the first wall site of the bumper it did not help comminuting and decelerating projectile. When the stainless steel mesh wall was located in the last wall site of the bumper, it could help dispersing debris clouds, reducing the damage of the rear wall. Optimized design idea of stainless steel mesh/aluminum plate multi-shock shields was suggested.
