Dynamic Brazilian Test for Mechanical Characterization of Ceramic Ballistic Protection

The aim of this work is to identify the tensile strength of alumina (Corbit98), by performing Brazilian tests at different loading rate. In this kind of test, generally used for brittle material in static loading conditions, a cylindrical specimen is diametrically compressed and failure is generated...
