The study utilises Hetherington's armour composite equation and incorporates the Johnson-Holmquist material model to analyse the strength and failure criteria of the ceramic and Kevlar/epoxy components, respectively. The results highlight the remarkable resilience of the composite armour, demonstrating its ability to withstand projectile velocities up to 1500 m/s. However, as the ballistic velocity limit increases, the armour experiences significant damage, including projectile erosion and panel delamination. Through numerical simulations and advanced modelling techniques, the paper thoroughly explores the failure modes and energy absorption characteristics of composite armour systems under projectile impact. It investigates key parameters such as velocity, acceleration, kinetic energy, internal energy, pressure distribution, displacement, and damage progression. The analysis reveals a progressive decrease in kinetic energy as the projectile interacts with the armour, underscoring the crucial role of energy absorption in preventing projectile penetration. Moreover, the impact velocity influences the distribution of internal energy within the composite armour, with higher velocities leading to greater energy absorption up to a threshold limit. The study also determines the ballistic limit velocity (V50) using the velocity history approach and validates the findings with existing literature. Overall, the research provides valuable insights into the limitations of composite armour and offers important recommendations for designing and improving materials to achieve superior ballistic protection. It emphasises the significance of reaching the maximum ballistic limit while maintaining a lightweight armour structure by optimising the total armour thickness. This study contributes to the advancement of armour technology and enhances our understanding of the behaviour of composite materials under high-velocity impacts. It offers valuable guidance for the development of more robust armour systems suitable for various defence and protection applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93433,"journal":{"name":"Forces in mechanics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41753914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analytical modeling is needed to provide fundamental physical understanding of the underlying phenomenon of mode conversion and its contribution to the acousto-elastic radiation force, and in experimental design. In the context of linear elasticity theory, a rigorous derivation for the acousto-elastic radiation force, based on the integration of the time-averaged radial component of the elastodynamic Poynting vector (or power flow density), is presented and discussed. Initially, the elastic scattering problem is determined and subsequently used to derive the mathematical expression for the acousto-elastic radiation force of progressive compressional waves. The method is also verified using the extended optical theorem for elastic compressional plane waves. Extension to the case of elastic plane standing wave is also provided. Particular importance is made on the contributions of elastic mode preservation (P → P) and mode conversion (P → S) to the acousto-elastic radiation force. Numerical computations for the dimensionless radiation force efficiency and its components demonstrate the importance of compressional-to-shear mode conversion in the scattering by the sphere encased in a linearly-elastic medium.
