The ballistic performance of 17 penetrator materials, representing 5 distinct steel alloys treated to various hardnesses along with one tungsten alloy, has been investigated. Residual lengths and velocities, as well as the ballistic limit velocities, were determined experimentally for each of the al

Woven fabrics are widely used in soft body armour. The ballistic performance of a range of narrow fabrics was determined and compared to that of wider fabric panels. In contrast to conventional ballistic fabrics, it was found that the performance of narrow fabrics was highly sensitive to changes in
This paper presents small scale reverse ballistic experiments and hydrocode simulations to estimate the influence of aerodynamic heating on the terminal ballistic performance of a hypervelocity kinetic energy projectile. A 3mm diameter, L/D 10 tungsten alloy projectile was heated to temperatures up
