Article Citation - WoS: 118Citation - Scopus: 144The Effect of the Interlayer on the Ballistic Performance of Ceramic/Composite Armors: Experimental and Numerical Study(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Taşdemirci, Alper; Tunusoğlu, Gözde; Güden, MustafaThe effect of rubber, Teflon and aluminum foam interlayer material on the ballistic performance of composite armor was investigated both experimentally and numerically. Although, rubber interlayer did not cause any significant delay in the initial stress build-up in the composite layer, Teflon and aluminum foam interlayer caused a significant delay and reduction in the magnitude of the stress transmitted to the composite backing plate. Damage in the ceramic layer was found to be highly localized around the projectile impact zone for the configuration without interlayer and rubber interlayer while aluminum foam and Teflon interlayer spread the damage zone in the radial direction. Relatively large pieces of the ceramic around the impact axis in the rubber interlayer configuration were observed while the ceramic layer was efficiently fragmented in aluminum foam and Teflon interlayer configuration.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 18Experimental and Numerical Investigation of High Strain Rate Mechanical Behavior of a [0/45 - 45] Quadriaxial E-glass/Polyester Composite(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Taşdemirci, Alper; Kara, Ali; Turan, Ali Kıvanç; Tunusoğlu, Gözde; Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.Quasi-static (10−3–10−1 s−1) and high strain rate (∼900 s−1) compression behavior of an E-Glass fiber woven fabric reinforced Polyester matrix composites was investigated by using a Shimadzu AG-I testing machine and a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar apparatus in the Dynamic Testing and Modeling Laboratory of Izmir Institute of Technology. During the experiments, a high speed camera was used to determine deformation behavior. In both directions, modulus and failure strength increased with increasing strain rate. Higher strain rate sensitivity for both elastic modulus and failure strength was observed in the in-plane direction. Based upon these experimental data, a numerical model was developed using the commercial explicit finite element code LS-DYNA to investigate compressive deformation and damage behavior of composites. Excellent agreement was demonstrated for the case of high strain rate loading. Also, the fracture geometries were successfully predicted with the numerical model.
