“…In ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, the thicker the layer, the better the protection [32]. Also, the thicker the plate, the higher the ballistic limit [4] Engineering that the thicker the target plate, the lower the residual velocity, implying that the more impact energy absorbed by the target plate, the greater the impact's kinetic energy, which will decrease as the projectile's velocity and mass decrease [33].…”

Ballistic resistance is affected by the projectile and armor material used. The character and behavior of the projectile affects its ability to damage and penetrate armor. The velocity, mass and shape of the projectile are the main factors in determining the ability of the projectile to penetrate armor in this case the target plate. Therefore, this study aims to determine and analyze the effect of projectile mass and shape on the velocity with which it penetrates the armor material using a compressed air gun. Armor material as a ballistic test target using carbon steel plate with a thickness of 0.8 mm; 1.2 mm and 1.8 mm. Projectiles of lead materials with different masses and shapes are fired from the air gun under controlled air pressure, set at 2000 Psi, 3000 Psi, and 4000 Psi to provide thrust in the barrel. The plat target is placed at a distance of 5 m from the air gun. Speed gauges are placed after the air gun and after the target plate to determine the projectile's rate before and after passing through the target plate. The test results concluded that the velocity of the projectile ejected from the compressed air gun was influenced by the magnitude of the pressure and the mass of the projectile. The mass of the projectile has a more dominant effect on the velocity of the projectile compared to the amount of pressure applied. Different projectile shapes with the same mass have no significant effect on the velocity. However, the heavier mass projectile outperforms the lighter mass projectile through the target plate. It is required the right combination of velocity and mass of the projectile to be able to penetrate the target plate

Ballistic limit is a speed limit where projectile with a certain shape, angle of attack and size is not able to perforate a target with certain properties and thickness. This paper aims is to determine and analyze the ballistic limit of commercial medium carbon steel plate which has been hardened by induction heating by using finite element based simulation. A plate with a thickness of 8 mm was shot by a deformable blunt projectile with a diameter of 20 mm, a length of 80 mm and a mass of 0.197 kg with an angle of attack of 90° against the plate. Simulation results show that projectile with a speed of 225 m s−1 is still able to penetrate the plate in the form of plugging. The plate can withstand the projectile rate at a maximum speed of 215 m−1. At this speed, the plate is damaged but the projectile does not penetrate. The plate still has ductility properties, as during the simulation there were deflection and bulge in the back side.
