Visual Methods to Assess Strain Fields in Armour Materials Subjected to Dynamic Deformation—A Review

When impacted by a projectile, ballistic protection undergoes very large strain rates over very short periods of time. During these impact events, materials will undergo a very short region of elastic deformation, before undergoing significant plastic deformation. Due to the high levels of plastic d...
