  • The ballistic efficiency of alumina tiles with various sizes, shapes, and target configurations was measured by the thick backing plate technique. The ballistic efficiency of square tiles roughly 8 mm thick struck by 12.7mm diameter bullets rapidly increased with tile size up to about 100mm, then tended to saturate. Circular shape tiles had lower ballistic efficiencies than those of square shape tiles for the same width and thickness. Small tiles (50mm) that were recessed in aluminum wells had a significantly higher ballistic efficiency than tiles placed on a flat surface. However, the difference in the ballistic efficiency between the two target configurtions became small at larger tile sizes. All the results could be explained by the effect of reflected waves at edges and the propagation of resulting cracks on the penetration process.

  • In this study, to improve the ballistic efficiency of very brilliant alumina-silica armor material, forming press and sintering temperature were changed. 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 and analyzed them. As a result, in $1235^{\circ}C$, it appeared the highest ballistic efficiency about HEAT and it improved $22\%$ ballistic efficiency, better than invented alumina-silica armor material before.

  • The channel backscattering coefficient and injection velocity have been extracted experimentally in 65nm MOSFETs. Thanks to an experimental extraction methodology taking into account multi-subband population, we demonstrate that the short channel ballistic efficiency is slightly greater than long channel ballistic efficiency.

  • To improve the overall performance and realism of your game, it is important to calculate the trajectory of a projectile accurately and quickly. One way to increase realism is to use a ballistic model that takes into account factors such as air resistance, density, and wind when calculating a projectile's trajectory. However, the more these factors are taken into account, the more computationally time-consuming and expensive it becomes, creating a trade-off between overall performance and efficiency. Therefore, we present an optimal solution to find a balance between ballistic model accuracy and computation time. We perform ballistic calculations using numerical methods such as Euler, Velocity Verlet, RK2, RK4, and Akima interpolation, and measure and compare the computation time, memory usage (RSS, Resident Set Size), and accuracy of each method. We show developers how to implement more accurate and efficient ballistic models and help them choose the right computational method for their numerical applications.

  • In this study, we tried to invent ceramic armor material with brilliant ballistic properties by the silica of the high compression-expansion ratio and based on alumina that has the most economical and higher ballistic efficiency. After we choose three compositions, proper sintering temperature for each composition was decided. 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. As a result, $46\%\;Al_2O_3\;-\;51\%\;SiO_2$ of three compositions had the highest ballistic efficiency md better properties than alumina.

  • Two kinds of alumina specimens with different grain size (1 and 51 $\mu\textrm{m}$) but same density were prepared by hot-pressing. Fracture strength and fracture toughness of these specimens at low strain rate, sonic velocity, and elastic property were evaluated. Ballistic performance against Cal. 50 AP projectile was characterized by thick-backing method by using A16061-T6 reference block. Mechanical properties measured at low strain rate showed that the specimen with samll grain (SG) were better than specimen with large grain (LG). Fracture strength and fracture toughness of LG specimen were 131 MPa and 3.01 MPa{{{{ SQRT { m} }}, but those of SG specimen were 349 and 4.23, respectively. Sonic velocity and elastic properties of these specimen were similar, but bulk velocity and bulk modulus were different at amount of 4 and 9%. The tendency of ballistic performance was not consistent with the mechnaical properties at low strain rate. The ballistic performance based on quantitative efficiency revealed that the LG specimen (5.13) was ballistically better than the SG specimen (4.00) in spite of their lower mechanical properties.

  • The ballistic capability of an alumina-rich oxide armor ceramic against a shaped jet was characterized as a function of penetration depth in a layered target structure. The penetration resistance of the ceramic, based upon the determination of penetration velocity, was not equally realized throughout the depth of penetration. It was abnormally low at an early stage of penetration, followed by a sudden increase to reach ~16GPa thereafter. There was no apparent change in such a profile with respect to the lateral size of the specimen. Based upon 2-D flash x-ray radiography and 3-D Hull code simulation, the feasibility of forming a pressure-induced predamnaged zone in front of the jet tip was speculated to foster an increased penetration velocity in the initial stage penetration, resulting in the diminished penetration resistance. The disappearance of such a predamaged zone with penetration was interpreted to restore the resistance of the ceramic in the later penetration stage.
