Experimental Studies for Characterization and Development of Ultrahigh Dynamic Performance Ceramic Composites
Abstract
The proposed program sought to study and characterize the mechanical response, fracture, failure modes of certain ceramics, cermets, and related composites under ultrahigh loading rates, and to relate the overall material properties to the microstructure, and, hence, to the associated processing techniques. Concomitant with this experimental effort, it was proposed to seek to determine the feasibility of developing a metal-ceramic structure which could be self-healing when subjected to certain high-velocity, impinging penetrators.
