“…Due to the constraints of the material's hardness, toughness, tensile strength, and yield strength, the explosion and penetration resistances of steel are limited (Jacobs and Van Dingenen, 2001;Jena et al, 2010). Many scholars have found that PU can significantly enhance the explosion resistance (Ackland et al, 2013;Nemat-Nasser, 2010;Amini et al, 2010;Zeng et al, 2021) or anti-penetration performances (Mohotti et al, 2015(Mohotti et al, , 2014Huang et al, 2018 ) of metal structures. Dinesh et al (2021) conducted numerical simulations to study the anti-explosion performances of PU-reinforced steel plates with different coating methods and different coating thicknesses under the impact of different equivalent trinitrotoluene (TNT) explosives.…”

To investigate the effect of polyurea on the protective performance of a steel target plate under the combination of shock wave and fragments, the failure characteristics, damage process and micro mechanism of the polyurea coated steel plates with different coating methods under the combination of explosion shock waves and fragments were analyzed through experiments and numerical simulations. The results showed that single-sided coatings aggravated the damage of target plate when the coating thickness was 2 mm. While the polyurea thickness greater than 4 mm could significantly reduce the damage degree of the steel plate. When the polyurea was coated on the double sides, it would aggravate the damage, no matter how thick the polyurea was. Through microscopic research, it was found that the front coated polyurea was severely ablated by detonation products, which greatly reduce its energy absorption efficiency. The polyurea coated on the back underwent tensile fracture under the influence of tensile stress wave. The breaking of intramolecular hydrogen bond of polyurea was the key to the energy absorption of polyurea.

“…Armor plates, which are made of light materials such as aluminum alloy, have been the focus of attention for a long time due to their low weight, easy formability, and high impact resistance. [1][2][3][4] In many scientific studies, experimental and numerical studies have been carried out using aluminum alloys and elastomer-based materials to improve their ballistic performance. 1,2,[5][6][7][8][9] The high level of flexibility, 10,11 excellent puncture and tear resistance, 12 and high damping properties 10 of elastomers and rubber-like materials make it suitable for use in composite structures prepared for ballistic applications.…”

“…The coating of polymer materials, which are much lighter than steel, on surfaces, layered lamina structures, and fiber-based composite structures are shown as examples. 8,[21][22][23] Zhang et al 1 examined the effects of polymeraluminum laminate plates prepared with PC and PMMA polymers on ballistic resistance according to different polymer layer arrangements and bullet nose shape. McShane et al 20 investigated the nose shape sensitivity of both semi-static and impact puncture resistance of lightweight polymer-metal laminates and the effect of polyethylene layer position, thickness, and material properties.…”

This study aims to determine the ballistic performances of laminated composite plates produced with AA5083-H112 series aluminum and rubber material with high elongation capacity under impact loading. To investigate the effect of rubber compounds, two types of rubber with calendered and damping were prepared. Thanks to the surface treatment applied to the aluminum plates, the rubber–metal adhesion strength was adjusted, and four different laminated composite plate samples were prepared. Calendered rubber was used on the bullet impact surface of all samples, and damping rubber was used on the back. It has been observed that the pressure barrier created by the calendered rubber bullet on the front face provides high performance to absorb energy. A detailed study was carried out on the total thickness of laminated composite plates, the interface adhesion strength between rubber and aluminum layers, and the ballistic performance of aluminum-rubber combinations. It was concluded that the laminated composite plate’s energy absorption would increase, especially by increasing the thickness of the dumping rubber layer on the back of the aluminum sheets. In the strong metal-rubber interface interaction between the rubber and aluminum layer, the bullet is stopped before the pressure barrier is formed. The penetration depth and bulging height increase, and most of the energy are transmitted through the aluminum plate. In the weak metal-rubber interface interaction, a significant portion of the energy is absorbed by the rubber and air thanks to the pressure barrier.

“…They stated that the ballistic performance of the composite is more efficient for rubber at higher hardness values and that increasing the thickness of the rubber layer improves the overall performance of the composite. Huang et al 10 investigated the effects of polycarbonate (PC) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) polymers on the ballistic resistance depending on the polymer mechanical behavior of the layer arrangement and the shape of the bullet of laminated aluminum composite plates. For blunt-nosed projectiles, the PC performed better when positioned on the impact side, and PMMA was noted to have little help in increasing ballistic resistance.…”

In this study, the ballistic behavior of protective armor plates (PaP) obtained by curing between high structural strength AA7075-T651 aluminum plates by reinforcing with glass balls of two different rubber mixtures whose damping properties were developed with carbon nanotube and glass bubbles fillers were investigated. A total of six PaPs at 27, 30, and 35 mm heights were prepared using two different matrix damping rubbers. High-strength liner rubber used in air bellows is vulcanized on the front and back surfaces of PaPs. Between the PaPs, Ø15.875 and Ø6.747 mm, borosilicate glass balls were placed in a particular arrangement that coincides with the middle of the matrix rubber and does not have any gaps. Liner rubber cured on the front face has managed to hold the energy by forming a layer like clothing around the bullet cores. Glass balls between PAPs play an essential role in the energy absorption of GB-filled mixtures. In contrast, in MWCNT-filled mixtures, they act as a second damping element. The ballistic performance of PAPs prepared with multiwalled carbon nanotubes was determined to be better than those prepared with Glass Bubbles. Thanks to the superior mechanical properties and high aspect ratio of MWCNTs, the penetration and swelling heights of the matrix damping rubbers prepared to have excellent results compared to glass bubbles. With the increase in the thickness of the PaPs prepared with MWCNTs, the deformation effect of the penetration depth and bulging height created by the bullet on the anterior and posterior surfaces decreased. As the thickness of PaP increased from 27 mm to 35 mm, penetration depth decreased by 38%, and bulging height reduced by 35%. The amount of penetration and swelling increased in PaPs using rubber filled with glass bubbles. As the plate thickness increased, the damping feature decreased and the glass balls were activated, and the bullet was stopped.
