On the characterisation of the dynamic compressive behaviour of silicon carbides subjected to isentropic compression experiments

Ceramic materials are commonly used as protective materials particularly due to their very high hardness and compressive strength. However, the microstructure of a ceramic has a great influence on its compressive strength and on its ballistic efficiency. To study the influence of microstructural par...
