Abstract
In this study, we analyzed the relation between mechanical and ballistic properties of several engineering ceramics that were expected to be used as armor materials. After the measurements of mechanical properties (Young's modulus, density, hardness, flexural strength and toughness), we measured the ballistic properties against a long rod KE projectile ( L / D =10.7, Kinetic Energy, tungsten heavy alloy) and copper jet projectile (40mm shaped charge warhead). The ballistic properties were generally increased as the increasing ratio of mechanical properties and density. As the HEL/density ratio was increased, it especially appeared that the ballistic properties were lineally increased.
