Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the relation between physical/mechanical properties and ballistic properties for several engineering ceramics that were expected to use as armor material. After physical/mechanical measurement, we measured ballistic properties about KE(Kinetic Energy, L/D=10.7, tungsten heavy alloy) and HEAT(High Explosive Anti-Tank, K215) projectiles. Increasing Young's modulus/density, hardness/density and flexural strength/density ratios, ballistic properties were generally increased. Especially it appeared that the ballistic property about KE projectile was lineally increased, as HEL/density ratio increased.

본 연구에서는 방탄재료로 활용 가능할 것으로 예상되는 여러 구조용 세라믹스의 물리기계적 물성과 방탄물성과의 상호연관성을 분석하였다. 물리기계적 물성을 측정한 후 30mm 고체추진포에서 10.7의 L/D비를 갖는 텅스텐 긴 관통자를 비행시켜 운동에너지(KE)탄에 대한 방탄물성을 측정하였으며, K215 자탄을 기폭시켜 성형작약(HEAT)탄에 대한 방탄물성을 측정하였다. 영률/밀도비, 경도/밀도비 및 꺽임강도/밀도비가 증가할수록 방탄물성이 대체적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 특히 HEL(Hugoniot Elastic Limit)/밀도비가 증가함에 따라 KE탄에 대한 방탄물성이 선형적으로 증가하는 현상을 나타내었다.
