FURTHER STUDIES IN THE BEHAVIOR OF LIGHT WEIGHT PERSONNEL ARMOR MATERIALS
Abstract
A series of tests was carried out to provide information on the behavior of projectiles impacting two types of armor materials at oblique and normal incidence in the velocity range 1000 ft/sec to 4000 ft/sec. The armor materials were a titanium alloy and a high test steel and the projectiles used were high tensile steel cylin ders. The report includes the results of tests to determine the yield characteristics of the armor at high strain rates.
