Functionally and Geometrically Ordered Ti Armor

 

Computational Models for Ti Composite Armors

2.2: Projectile Impact into Layered Armor Plate

The following images show the simulation of the penetration of the layered armor plate with two layers of Ti-6Al-4V plate and a hard layer in the middle, with the projectile impacting the plate at 2074 ft/sec. The volume of the middle layer is equal to the volume of the material in the hard pyramids for the geometrically ordered armor composite with pyramidal inserts.
