 · Analysis of typical ceramic-composite armors is presented for their ballistic impact performance. Specifically, armor configurations are given for enhancing ballistic limit velocity with minimum armor areal density. The studies are performed using the analytical model presented earlier (Naik et al. in Int J Damage Mech 22(2):145–187, 2013). Wave theory and energy balance between …

 · By contrast, ceramic inserts deform and erode the projectile and also comminute the ceramic. The ceramic communition (and resultant dilation) results in stretching of both steel face sheets and leads to significant energy dissipation. The ballistic limit of this hybrid is about twice that of the equivalent monolithic steel plate.

Personnel and vehicle ballistic armor can be damaged in handling and use, and by severe ballistic and shock impact. Dropping a ceramic armor plate onto a hard surface, or diving for cover, could fracture the ceramic, cause fiber/matrix damage in the retention layer, or could de-laminate any of the adjacent layers.
