Research progress on confined ceramic composite armor
Applying certain constraint and pre-stress to the ceramics can change the damage response of the ceramics to the impact and delay the interface defeat,thus improving the penetration resistance of the composite armor.This paper introduced the ballistic mechanism of ceramic composite armor and reviewed the effects of common confined patterns(axial constrained,radial constrained,and three-dimensional constrained)on its ballistic performance,with a view to providing certain reference for the structural design,ballistic mechanism research,and application expansion of ceramic composite armor.
