Özet

Developments in weapon systems have created the need for enhanced protection day by day. Researchers need to understand the behavior and deformation mechanisms of mechanical protective materials. Armor, which is an important part of the defense industry, has undergone many changes and developments from the past to the present. The ballistic performance of the armor can be improved by choosing the right material and improving these material properties or by working on the armor plates. In this study, the aim is to compare the directional deformation values on the plate in the explicit dynamic analysis of Armor 500T and Ramor 500 hybrid material plate using 3 different three angles (0°, 30°, 60°). 7.62 x 51 NATO bullet design lead material was used for the tests. It was determined that the directional deformation decreased 3.58 times with the increasing angle of the plates. With this study, remarkable findings have been obtained for the improvement of ballistic performance that can be used in the defense industry.
