Influence of Geometry and Hardness of the Backing Plate on Ballistic Performance of Bi-Layer Ceramic Armor

The high hardness and strength of technical ceramics is exploited to design ballistic armors and their low toughness, brittleness is overcome by joining them with a metallic or long fiber reinforced composite backing plate. The thickness of backing plate (BP) on the ballistic performance SiC ceramic...
