“…This implies that in this experimental set-up, the extent of fragmentation of the tile is not important in terms of offering resistance to penetration. Similar results have been shown by Luo and Chen29 using a modified Split-Hopkinson-Pressure-Bar apparatus. They employed a novel dynamic compressive technique to load a ceramic sample with two consecutive stress pulses.…”

The resistance offered by three ceramic materials of varying strength that have been subjected to explosive loading has been investigated by depth-of-penetration (DoP) testing. Each material was completely penetrated by a tungsten carbide-cored projectile and the residual penetration into a ductile aluminium alloy backing material was measured. The resulting ballistic performance of each damaged ceramic was found to be similar implying that the resistance offered to the projectile by the damaged ceramic is not dependent on the intrinsic strength properties of the intact material. This was taken as evidence that the important controlling parameter for enhancing the ballistic performance of a damaged ceramic material was not the strength of the ceramic but rather the fragment morphology.
