Using Long Rod Penetration to Detect the Effect of Failure Kinetic in Ceramics

Abstract

Data for projectile penetration of SiC from two types of experiments were combined and analyzed in previous work. Analysis of the data suggested the presence of the so-called failure wave phenomenon, interpreted as the apparent increase in the strength of SiC when the penetration velocity exceeds some critical value. These data are used as the basis for the design of a new set of experiments with the objective to remove ambiguities and uncertainties that exist in the analysis and interpretation of the original data sets.
