This project will focus on the importance of the interface between ceramic armour and key constituents such as front cover and backings, with a particular interest in the link between the nature of the impactor (calibre of a round, shape of a fragment, etc) and resultant armour requirements. This will build on previous in-house studies focused on the importance of ceramic constructs and impactor geometries (in the latter case for composite targets) [1-3]. For example, consideration will be given to the importance of the thickness/nature of both front cover and backing interlayers and their continuity for management of dwell and release waves respectively. It is anticipated that a commercial route will be employed to manufacture ceramic constructs, using armour-grade alumina from Cranfield University stocks or material provided by RBSL as-appropriate, with brazes / interlayer materials to be initially identified via simulation. RBSL will also supply high-density coated alumina tiles for inclusion in the research.

该项目将重点关注陶瓷装甲与前盖和背衬等关键部件之间界面的重要性，特别关注冲击器的性质（子弹口径、碎片形状等）与由此产生的装甲要求之间的联系。这将建立在之前的内部研究的基础上，该研究重点关注陶瓷结构和冲击器几何形状的重要性（在后一种情况下为复合目标）[1-3]。例如，将考虑前盖和背衬夹层的厚度/性质的重要性以及它们分别对于驻留波和释放波管理的连续性。预计将采用商业途径来制造陶瓷结构，使用克兰菲尔德大学库存的装甲级氧化铝或 RBSL 提供的适当材料，并通过模拟初步确定钎焊/夹层材料。 RBSL 还将提供高密度涂层氧化铝砖以供研究使用。
