Abstract:
In order to improve ballistic protection, this paper presents the advantages of granular materials compared to traditional materials used in this field. Currently, ballistic protection uses various materials, individually or in combination, such as armor steels, ceramic layers, composite materials and granular structures. This paper shows the interaction of projectiles with each type of material, as well as the effects of combining different layers of materials. Granular materials consist of macroscopic particles, each with its own degree of freedom. Collisions between these particles transfer energy from the solid to the individual particles, leading to energy dissipation that can stop particle movement within the granular material. The primary goal of this research is to analyze the results of projectile impact on various material obstacles using a mathematical model for image processing.
