Development of Multi-Functional Add-On Hybrid Armor Models and Designs used for Vehicle Protection
DownloadFall 2022
In the first part of this thesis, a validated polyurethane adhesive model is implemented into a system-scale ceramic/armor model for ballistic impact simulations. Here, the trilinear cohesive zone (TCZM) technique is used to simulate the dynamic failure of SikaForceTM6 7752-L60 polyurethane...
