Abstract

A computational study on the feasibility of increasing the weight-to-protection ratio of polyethylene armored plates by adding local ceramic inserts into the polymer matrix. A computational study was conducted using ANSYS/AUTODYNE software to observe the behavior of the materials under high-velocity impact conditions. Results indicate that efficacy is highly variable based on the geometry and density of the ceramic inserts. Additional studies indicate that the presence of high-density inserts create localizations of high stress and can increase the impact resistance of the by plate by reducing the penetration depth of an impactor by up to 50%.
