A Numerical Investigation on the Ballistic Performance of Ceramic Composite Armors against EFP Threats
The increasing destructiveness of explosive-formed penetrators or projectiles (EFPs) in modern warfare has posed significant challenges in developing effective armored solutions incorporating advanced ceramics as crucial components, offering enhanced protection against high-velocity-formed projectiles. [1] In other words, Explosively Formed Penetrators pose a significant threat to military vehicles, necessitating the development of advanced armor solutions to counteract their destructive potential. Thus, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) research is crucial for the armor system against this threat. In addition, since EFP tests are costly and time-demanding, performing these experiments with FEA provides significant cost and performance efficiency. This study analyzes the composite armor system integrating Nurol Teknoloji [2] ceramics against EFP threats utilizing LS-DYNA, a program for nonlinear dynamic analysis of structures in three dimensions.
