Abstract

The role of the adhesive layer in the ballistic performance of ceramic multi-layer armour system is complex and multi-faceted, often with trade-offs between single- and multi-hit performance. However, research focused on untangling the underlying impact of varying adhesive cohesive or adhesion properties is limited and sometimes appears to provide conflicting conclusions. Comparison between the available studies is also often difficult due to variations in armour systems or ballistic testing being conducted. This review scrutinises the available research, identifying six critical properties of an adhesive layer in determining ballistic performance: elastic modulus, fracture strain, acoustic impedance, tensile bond strength, shear bond strength, and thickness. The impact of each of these properties on ballistic performance is discussed in detail, with clear description of the underlying processes involved, allowing clear optimisation goals to be established depending on the ceramic armour specification.

粘接层性能对陶瓷多层弹道装甲系统的影响

粘结层对陶瓷多层装甲系统弹道性能的影响是复杂的、多方面的，往往需要在单弹和多弹性能之间进行权衡。然而，研究集中在解开不同的粘合剂内聚性或粘合性能的潜在影响是有限的，有时似乎提供相互矛盾的结论。由于正在进行的装甲系统或弹道测试的变化，现有研究之间的比较往往也很困难。本文回顾了现有的研究，确定了粘合层在决定弹道性能方面的六个关键特性：弹性模量、断裂应变、声阻抗、拉伸粘结强度、剪切粘结强度和厚度。详细讨论了这些特性对弹道性能的影响，并对所涉及的潜在过程进行了清晰的描述，允许根据陶瓷装甲规格建立明确的优化目标。
