N2 - An experimental study on ballistic limit velocities (v50) of tungsten alloy spherical fragment penetrating ceramic/DFRP composite target plates was performed. Firstly, tungsten alloy spherical fragments vertically impacting ceramic/DFRP composite target plates with different thickness ratio was tested by using a ballistic gun equipment. According to the ballistic experimental results, the relationship between ballistic limit velocity (v50) and area density (AD) of composite target was obtained. Secondly, using the dimensional analysis method and the similarity theory, the simulation law of tungsten alloy spherical fragments penetrating ceramic/DFRP composite target plates was studied. Based on the above results, the empirical formula of the ballistic limit velocity v50 was built. The predicted values using the empirical formula agreed well with the experimental results. The study results were valuable for optimally designing fragment warheads and light armor protective structures.
