2024-T351 aluminium hat-shaped specimens have been used to experimentally investigate the effect of different initial test temperatures on the strain at which a thermo-plastic instability occurs. A universal testing machine and split Hopkinson pressu

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) composite has been shown to be an effective material for ballistic protection against blunt penetrators [1]. The material exhibits multiple stages of penetration, typically characterised by an initia

A series of Taylor rod-on-anvil experiments have been performed to validate the predicted impact velocity fracture threshold and fracture mode of a high hardness armour steel (HHA) obtained through explicit finite element simulations. Experimentally,

The ballistic performance of an ultra-high hardness armour steel (UHA) has been evaluated for a range of thicknesses and obliquities against armour piercing (AP) and fragment simulating projectiles (FSPs). Together with published literature, these re

A penetration model for composites reinforced with high tenacity fibres like ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) is proposed based on the modified Bernoulli theory typically used for metallic targets. The model describes penetration by
