Abstract

The-depth-of-penetration (DOP) experiment of explosively-formed projectile (EFP) penetrating Al2O3 armor ceramic was performed, and the mass protection and difference protection coefficients and the variety of them along with the ceramic thickness were gained. The capability of 99Al2O3 armor ceramic resisting EFP penetration was evaluated, and the process and mechanisms of armor ceramic resisting EFP penetration was explained. Researched results show that the capability of ceramic resisting penetration can be improved by adding restriction.
