A new concept of tungsten heavy alloy composite was suggested and manufactured in this study for the kinetic energy penetrator. The composite heavy alloy was composed of two parts, the center was molybdenum added heavy alloy compositions which were designed to promote the self-sharpening effect and outside was conventional heavy alloy in order to sustain the severe stress condition in the muzzle during the firing. The center part showed an intergranular and brittle mode at tungsten/tungsten interfaces by which self-sharpening effect could be activated. On the other hand, that of outside showed conventional ductile fracture mode under high strain rate condition. From the sub-scale penetration test, the depth of penetration in heavy alloy composites showed greater values than those of conventional tungsten heavy alloys. It is suggested that the heavy alloy composite could be considered as one of the future penetrator materials.

EFP composed of explosive, charge and liner generally penetrates standoff a target by Monroe effect. Its performance highly depends on penetrator characteristics and flight stability. Penetration ability can be dramatically reduced when the penetrator reaches the target with AOA, even if the penetrator has high kinetic energy and L/D ratio. Therefore, it is important to research not only penetrator characteristics and but also flight stability. In this work, the effect of liner shape on penetrator characteristics was examined using free flight test and numerical tools. It was found that tip velocity of penetrator was increased with decreasing liner thickness. It was also found that thicker liner had higher static margin leading to better flight status.

A new tungsten heavy alloy with hybrid structure was manufactured for the kinetic energy penetrator. The tungsten heavy alloy is composed of two parts: core region is molybdenum added heavy alloy to promote the self-sharpening; outer part encompassing the core is conventional heavy alloy to sustain severe load in a muzzle during firing. From ballistic test, it was found that the penetration performance of the hybrid structure tungsten heavy alloy is higher than that of conventional heavy alloy. This heavy alloy is thought to be very useful for the penetrator in the near future.

세라믹(AD-90 alumina, $B_4C$) 타일이 삽입된 금속 블록(4340-steel)에 텅스텐 합금(tungsten alloy)의 긴 운동에너지탄을 수직 고속 충돌시키는 수치해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구를 수행하기에 앞서 두 가지의 반무한판 충돌 모델의 침투 깊이에 대해서 검증을 하였다. 세라믹 재료는 JH-2 (Johnson-Holmquist) 모델을 적용하였고 계산된 침투 깊이를 실험값과 비교하여 만족할만한 결과를 얻었다. 앞서 언급한 판에 대해서 세라믹 타일의 세 가지 두께별로 금속판에 삽입된 위치를 다르게 하여 충돌 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 긴 관통자의 잔류속도, 잔류질량 그리고 잔류운동에너지를 얻어 세라믹 타일의 위치가 구조물의 방호 성능에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 그리고 단순 금속 블록 대비 세라믹 타일을 사용하는 경우의 질량 효율이 어떻게 되는지 확인해보았다. 마지막으로 이들을 토대로 질량효율 관점에서 최적 방호구조에 대한 평가를 수행하였다.
