Simulation of dwell-to-penetration transition for SiC ceramics subjected to impact of tungsten long rods by Yuan, Jianming, Tan, Geoffrey Eng Beng, Goh, Wei Liang

“…For a ceramic armour impacted by a long rod projectile, increasing the dwell-to-penetration transition velocity significantly improves its ballistic performance, whereas it can be achieved by prestressing of the ceramic or placing a buffer over the impact surface. In this paper, numerical simulation using the AUTODYN hydrocode is conducted to investigate how dwell-to-penetration transition is affected by the radial prestress and the presence of a buffer. …”
