EXPERIMENTAL METHOD FOR STUDYING THE INTERACTION PROCESSES OF HIGH-VELOCITY IMPACTORS WITH MULTILAYER TRANSPARENT ARMOR

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

An experimental method is developed that makes it possible to visualize the onset and spreading of damage in each layer of transparent armor. The damage development dynamics in multilayer packages consisting of four \(480\times 480\)-mm layers and eight \(300\times 300\)-mm layers is analyzed. The evolution of damage is obtained under the influence of a 12.7-mm bullet with a two-component core with a total mass of 59.2 g and a 7.62-mm bullet with a two-component core with a total mass of 10.9 g along the normal and at an acute angle in a range of impact velocities of 777–797 m/s. The experimental data are compared with the numerical simulation of interaction between an impactor and a multilayer transparent target.
