Abstract EN
This study investigated the ballistic resistance of a composite target plate fabricated by combining SiC ceramic with the Dyneema fiber.
To achieve a light-weight target plate that conforms to the US National Institute of Justice level four (NIJ IV) standards, minimal areal density analysis was conducted to obtain the optimal SiC ceramic-Dyneema fiber thickness combination.
This study used energy absorption to analyze the ballistic resistance of the target plates.
To drastically reduce experimental costs, most of this work employed ANSYS/LS-DYNA software to conduct finite element numerical simulations.
First, ballistic experiments that conformed to NIJ IV standards were conducted to verify the simulation parameter configurations.
Subsequently, the correlation function of the relationship between the combined thickness of the composite material and its ballistic resistance was determined through the experimental design, which effectively reduced the simulation analysis time.
According to simulation experiments and regression analysis, the equation for the relationship between the combined thickness of the composite material and its ballistic resistance was EAhc,hf=−6276.5+500.6hc+1512.6hf+30.7hchf−8.1hc2−113.6hf2, though there were limitations to its application.
From the numerical analysis results, 8.1940 mm SiC ceramic and 6.9637 mm Dyneema fiber were determined to constitute the optimal thickness combination for a composite that features a minimal areal density and which conforms to NIJ IV standards.
The combination was verified to be consistent with the numerical simulation analysis results.
