Abstract

For protection against projectiles with higher impact speed (up to 1000 m/s) a type of a ballistic sandwich shield can be used—which is a monolithic combination of ballistic laminates with additional materials, typically hard layers made of ceramic in the form of plates or spheres of oxides, carbides and nitrides. The authors of this paper, by using FEM to optimize defined material sets to fire the cartridge 7.62 × 54R mm, give a range of results which are compared with tests of ballistic firing on the shooting range.
