TRANSPARENT ARMOR STRUCTURES FOR PERSONAL PROTECTION
Conventional transparent armor systems for personal protection typically comprise two layers: polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) backed by polycarbonate (PC). It is understood that while the strike layer (PMMA) is used to break or deform the projectile upon impact, the back layer (PC) serves as a spall layer. Parameters such as thickness ratio, total areal density, and binding strength can be adjusted to achieve different levels of protection against specific projectiles traveling within a velocity range. In this research, the conventional transparent armor system is investigated, focusing on the influence of weight ratio over a large range of total areal densities. Ballistic performance profiles as a function of weight percentage and areal density were generated experimentally based on a large array of data. Furthermore, potential ballistic performance enhancements were explored by replacing a constituent component with materials of different properties.
