Impact Mechanics of Ceramic Armor provides an overview of the impact dynamics of projectiles and targets, crack propagation, and damage evolution of ceramic during interface defeat and penetration. It provides experimental techniques and results of ceramic armor subjected to projectiles, covers the damage mechanics of ceramic armor under impact load, and analyzes the failure processes alongside corresponding theoretical models. Constitutive models and material parameters between projectile and target are provided, techniques for optimum ceramic armor design are outlined, and applications of interface defeat in the field of light armor are introduced. Key Features Explains the impact dynamics of projectiles and targets, crack propagation, and damage evolution of ceramic during interface defeat, Summarizes experimental techniques and results of ceramic armor subjected to projectiles, Provides insight into how to design ceramic composite armor that will withstand certain projectiles.
