Lightweight Armor Materials and Processes for Vehicle Protection
Abstract
This effort conducts applied research to design, develop and evaluate lightweight armor materials and structures, investigate novel processing methodologies for cost effective manufacturing, use existing and emerging modeling and simulation tools to enable formulation of lightweight, frontal, and structural armor materials for current and future platform applications. This effort also explores ground vehicle structural mechanics and dynamics technologies to improve damage tolerance, durability, fatigue-resistance, and dynamic response (i.e., shock, vibration, harshness, and damping).
