본고는 지뢰 방호복을 개발, 국산화하기 위해 먼저 방탄소재 구성방법에 관하여 실험한 결과이다. 기존의 여러 겹의 파라-아라미드(Para-aramid)나 단순히 파라-아라미드와 폴리 에틸렌 필름(Polyethlene film)을 조합한 소재구성과는 달리 케블라 파이버(Kevlar fiber)로 만들어진 펠트(felt)를 첨가하여 방탄원리 및 특성을 고려한 구성으로 방호복의 중량을 줄이면서 착용자로 하여금 유연성과 동작성을 향상시켜 임무수행과 안전성을 높일 수 있는 방호복을 개발하고자 하였다. 1) Para-aramid(내 충격열) + Flex-felt(충격 에너지 흡수) + Para-aramid(backface Polyethylene film(에너지 분산 극대)+Para-aramid(내 마찰열, backface순으로 소재를 배열함으로써 기존의 Para-aramed 36겹에 대하여 Para-aramid13겹, Polyethylene film 13겹, 그리고 펠트 1겹으로 동일한 방호성능을 얻었다. 2) 새로운 소재 구성 방법 에 의 한 방탄소재는 동일한 방호성능을 갖는 기존의 소재 구성 방법 에 따른 방탄소재 보다 중량에서 34-l9% ,더 가벼운 것으로 나타나 방호복 구성시 유연성이나 동작성에 유리 할 것으로 사료된다. 3) NIJ-STD-0101.03에서 의 Armor type II에 해당하는 시편 I의 방호한계속도로 구한 운동 에너지량은 154.4J Armor type III-A에 해 당하는 시편II의 방호한계속도로 구한 운동 에너지 량은 183.0J로 나타나 두 시편 모두 5m의 거리에서 M16Al지뢰의 0.032~0.044g사이 의 파편에 대해서 50%의 관통확률을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

고성능 섬유강화 복합재료는 단위 중량당 강성과 강도가 높으면서 가격도 저렴하여 여러 산업분야에서 널리 사용되고 있으며 특히, 경량임에도 충격에 대한 저항성이 우수하여 방탄재료로의 군사적, 민간용 이용도가 날로 증가되고 있다. 그러나 고속 충격 탄자와 같이 관통성이 뛰어난 위협 조건으로부터의 방호를 목적으로 장갑을 설계할 매는 단일 재료만으로는 충분한 방탄 성능을 가질 수 없는 경우가 많다. 이런 경우는 충격 전면에서 충격 탄자의 탄두를 일차적으로 무디게 하거나 파쇄시켜 탄자의 형상을 변화시키고, 변형된 탄자의 계속적인 관통에 대한 저항능력이 우수한 재료를 사용하여 두가지 성질을 동시에 만족시키는 장갑재료의 개발이 요구되고 꾸준히 연구되어 왔다.(중략)

In order to prevent the high velocity bullet from penetration, aluminum alloy and RHA(Rolled Homogeneous Armour) steel, which have a high tensile and compressive strength, are usually used as the bullet-proof armor material. Although these materials have a good bullet proof performance, but not an area density which is a weight increasing factor of bullet-proof armor. Therefore, Mg(magnesium) alloy is a promising substitute for the traditional bullet-proof armor material due to the relatively low areal density. The spatial efficiency of Mg alloy, however, is inferior to the traditional material's, which is a volume(thickness) increasing factor of bullet-proof armor. In this study, we select the multi-layered hybrid armor which consist of Ceramic, with a high strength; Mg alloy, with a low areal density; Kevlar, with a high tensile strength-to-weight ratio; in order to make up for the poor spatial efficiency of Mg alloy. By predicting V50 of the multi-layered armor against 9mm FMJ(Full Metal Jarket). we show that the multi-layered armor have the capability in improving bullet-proof performance in the respect of the areal density, but also the spatial efficiency.

This paper presents an investigation of the energy absorption of composite laminates during ballistic impact. Three components are responsible for the absorption of energy-the tensile failure of fiber, the elastic deformation of the composite, the delamination of composite laminates. The ballistic limit, V/sub 0/, of the laminates is determined using a previous model implemented to determine the energy absorption of the three components listed above. The size of the deformed zone during impact was estimated by an approximate solution for impacts on plates. The carbon/epoxy plates were examined for this research.

In this paper, we have verified the performance of ballistic resistance material on wet condition. Considering Korea terrain, soldiers may face many rivers and streams. However, bullet-proof jacket has no waterproofing and there's no water-proof standard in Military. Wearing wet bullet-proof jacket, soldiers can't be protected properly because of the decrement of jacket. Thus, we measure the performance of existing material on wet condition and analyze failure mechanism in order to indicate factors to improve bullet-proof jacket.

A three-dimensional Lagrangian explicit time-integration finite element code for analyzing the dynamic impact phenomena was developed. It uses four node tetrahedral elements. In order to consider the effects of strain rate hardening, strain hardening and thermal softening, which are frequently observed in high-velocity deformation phenomena, Johnson-Cook model is used as constitutive model. For more accurate and robust contact force computation, the defense node contact algorithm was adopted and implemented. In order to evaluate the performance of the newly developed three-dimensional hydrocode NET3D, numerical simulations of the oblique impact of mild steel plate by mild steel sphere were carried out. Ballistic limit about various oblique angle between 0 degree and 80 degree was estimated through a series of simulations with different initial velocities of sphere. Element eroding by equivalent plastic strain was applied to mild steel spheres and targets. Ballistic limits and fracture characteristics obtained from simulation were compared with experimental results conducted by Finnegan et al. From numerical studies, the following conclusions were reached. (1) Simulations could successfully reproduce the key features observed in experiment such as tensile failure termed "disking"at normal impacts and outwards bending of partially formed plus segments termed "hinge-mode"at oblique impacts. (2) Simulation results fur 60 degrees oblique impact at 0.70 km/s and 0.91 km/s were compared with experimental results and Eulerian hydrocode CTH simulation results. The Lagrangian code NET3D is superior to Eulerian code CTH in the computational accuracy. Agreement with the experimentally obtained final deformed cross-sections of the projectile is excellent. (3) Agreement with the experimental ballistic limit data, particularly at the high-obliquity impacts, is reasonably good. (4) The simulation result is not very sensitive to eroding condition but slightly influenced by friction coefficient.

In order to investigate the characteristics of penatration and the effect of surface treatment in A15052-H34, Al5082-Hl31 and titanium alloy laminates which were treated by anodizing and PVD(Physical Vapor Desposition) method, ballistic tests were conducted. Thickness of surface membrane in A15052-H34, Al5082-Hl31, were $25{\mu}m$ and that of titanium $0.9{\mu}m$ respectively. Surface hardness test was conducted using micro Vicker's hardness tester. Resistance to penetration is determined by the protection ballistic limit(V50), a statistical velocity with $50\%$ probability for complete penetration. Fracture behaviors and ballistic tolerance, described by penetration modes, are observed from the results of V50 test and Projectile Through Plate(PTP) test at velocities greater than protection ballistic limit, respectively. Present experimental results derived from this research help to optimize laminate impact behavior by varing the laminate thickness and surface treated materials.

The armor composite material targets such as aramid FRMLs with different type and ply number of face material and different type of back-up material, were studied to determine ballistic impact resistance and dynamic failure behavior during ballistic impact. Ballistic impact resistance is determined by $\textrm{V}_{50}$ ballistic limit, a statical velocity with 50% probability for complete penetration, test method. Also dynamic failure behaviors are respectfully observed that result from $\textrm{V}_{50}$ tests. $\textrm{V}_{50}$ tests with $0^{\circ}$ obliquity at room temperature were conducted with projectiles that were able to achieve near or complete penetration during high velocity impact tests. As a result, ballistic impact resistance of anodized Al 5052-H34 alloy(2 ply) is better than that of anodized Al 5052-H34 alloy(1 ply), but Titanium alloy showed the similar ballistic impact resistance. In the face material, ballistic impact resistance of titanium alloy is better than that of anodized Al 5052-H34 alloy. In the back-up material, ballistic impact resistance of T750 type aramid fiber is better than that of CT709 type aramid fiber.
