Functionally and Geometrically Ordered Ti Armor
Computational Models for Ti Composite Armors
2.4: Projectile Impact into Geometrically Ordered Armor Composite, Block Inserts
The following images show the simulation of the penetration of the geometrically ordered armor plate with Ti-6Al-4V material with hard block inserts in the middle, with the projectile impacting the plate at 2074 ft/sec.
Geometrically Ordered Armor Composite Plate, Quarter Inch Size Hard Block inserts
The armor is constructed using one plate with geometry as shown in the image above, and another backing solid plate of the same thickness that is made of Ti-6Al-4V. The block regions in the first plate are filled with the harder material, capped with the second plate and consolidated into an integral armor plate.
Geometrically Ordered Armor Composite Plate, Half Inch Size Hard Block inserts
The armor is constructed using one plate with geometry as shown in the image above, and another backing solid plate of the same thickness that is made of Ti-6Al-4V. The block regions in the first plate are filled with the harder material, capped with the second plate and consolidated into an integral armor plate.
