Abstract

The optimization process for a composite panel with an Al₂O₃-AA2024 percolation phase subjected to a perpendicular impact of a 7.62 × 54R B32 Armor Piercing projectile is described. It is found that metal-matrix composite/ceramic-matrix composite structures have a lower ballistic resistance than structures in which a hard layer supported by a plastic one. Optimization revealed that the best composite panel with an Al₂O₃-AA2024 percolation phase could be obtained when the probability distribution of individual materials was described by a highly nonlinear function.
