dc.description.abstractBallistic efficiency and cost are the main considerations in the design of lightweight armors. Metallic materials have the drawback of their high density. Mixed armors, of ceramic tiles backed by a metallic plate, are an efficient shield against low and medium caliber projectiles since they combine the light weight and high resistance of a ceramic with the ductility of a metal. The drawback is their high cost. The authors developed a new material composed of ceramic particles and a polymeric matrix. It fills the gap between metallic and ceramic materials and could be interesting for applications in which weight is not the primary concern and cost benefits are welcome. A model of the mechanical behavior of this composite is presented in this paper, implemented in a numerical code and validated by experimental results.
