Dynamic behaviour of ceramic armour systems
Rahbek, Dennis Bo; Johnsen, Bernt Brønmo (2015-11-10)Protection against high-velocity impact from objects such as projectiles is of major concern for bothmilitary and civilian purposes. Lightweight body armour systems for ballistic protection of personnel can be designed ... -
Effect of composite covering on ballistic fracture damage development in ceramic plates
Rahbek, Dennis Bo; Simons, Jeffrey W.; Johnsen, Bernt Brønmo; Kobayashi, Takao; Shockey, Donald A. (2017)This paper describes the damage development in ceramics with and without composite cover during ballistic impact. This is relevant for ceramic inserts in body armor that are often covered with a composite material. To study ... -
Finite element simulations of drop indentations into oily clay
Rahbek, Dennis Bo (2015-01-05)When testing equipment for personnel protection a set of requirements usually has to be followed. One of the most common sets of test requirements is set by the American National Institute of Justice 0101:06 standard. ... -
Fragmentation of an armour piercing projectile after impact on composite covered alumina tiles
Rahbek, Dennis Bo; Johnsen, Bernt Brønmo (2019-11-18)In a typical body armour system, a hard armour plate is often used in conjunction with a soft ballistic panel. The main purpose of the armour plate is to erode and fragment an impacting projectile, such as 7.62 mm armour ... -
Surface treatment of alumina ceramic for improved adhesion to a glass fibre-reinforced polyester composite
Lausund, Kristian Blindheim; Johnsen, Bernt Brønmo; Rahbek, Dennis Bo; Hansen, Finn Knut (2015)The adhesion between an alumina ceramic and a glass fibre-reinforced polyester matrix composite has been investigated. The effect of various alumina surface treatments, including degreasing, etching, plasma, grit-blasting ...
