The most commonly used ballistic ceramics (alumina, silicon carbide, and boron carbide)
are compared via various performance mechanisms in this review. This work aimed to study …

Modern military operations, technology-driven war tactics, and current on-street weapons
and ammunition necessitate the development of advanced ballistic protection body armor …

Ceramic armour materials are designated to protect personnel and vehicles against ballistic
damage. The main effort is now focused on develo** ceramics with difficult-to-obtain …

This study was devoted to the understanding of the influence of MgAl 2 O 4 ceramic
properties on their ballistic performances. By modifying the processing parameters, ceramics …

The teleost fish scales, such as Grass Carp and Cyprinoid, characterize hierarchical
structure which usually consists of a hard bony outer layer and a soft inner cross-ply of …

There has been a tremendous improvement in the design of ballistic protective materials,
which have been in use from time immemorial. Developments in the technology of …

The armor-piercing incendiary (API) round inflicts significant damage to light armor. This
article conducts penetration experiments on lightweight ceramic composite armor using 12.7 …

This paper investigates ballistic performance of two different ceramic-based armor designs
using finite element analysis. The first design is a bi-layer armor consists of a ceramic front …

Steels have been widely used as armor materials in defense applications, but they have the
disadvantage of a relatively high density. Hence, they are not suitable for lightweight armor …

Boron carbide disks with three different grain sizes were consolidated from submicrometer‐
sized boron carbide powder using the plasma pressure compaction technique. Static and …
