Modeling Of Mechanical Properties of Ceramic-Metal Composites for Armor Applications

In this study, AISI 450 stainless steel and ceramic-metal matrix composites (CMMCs) impacted by a 7.61x51mm armor piercing (AP) projectile, are numerically investigated by using Abaqus/Explicit. For AISI steel, three different failure criteria are used in order to determine the critical thickness va...
