Abstract

AbstractSome results are presented on an ongoing experimental, ballistic and numerical characterization of a novel new armour steel with comparison to a leading commercial benchmark alloy. The apparent better resistance to plugging failure of the new steel is shown with comparative ballistic tests over a range of plate thicknesses for two types of projectiles. Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar tests in compression and tension as well as a series of quasi-static tensile tests were performed to characterize the dynamic plasticity and failure of the materials.KeywordsBallistic impactSteel armour plate
