deformation, energy absorption and damage mechanisms for ballistic applications. Novel experimental and
numerical results of non-perforating ballistic impacts with blunt projectiles are presented. The resistance
forces and absorption energy by the specimen are measured for different impact velocities. A post-mortem
analysis of the failure mechanisms is performed using computed tomography and a profilometer device. The
numerical model is used to analyse the influence of impactor mass and impact velocity below the ballistic
limit.[+][-]
