Evaluation of the ballistic performance of materials usually includes the following aspects:
- Ballistic testing: Use real ammunition to shoot the material and measure the material's stopping effect on different bullets. This can visually evaluate the material's ballistic performance.
- Contact pressure test: measures the contact pressure generated by a material when it is struck by a bullet, and is used to evaluate the material's protective effect on the human body. The lower the contact pressure, the better the protection.
- Energy Absorption Test: Measures a material's ability to absorb and dissipate energy when impacted. The greater the energy absorption, the better the material is able to resist impact damage.
- Durability test: evaluate the performance changes of materials after being subjected to multiple bullet strikes, and check their fatigue resistance and service life
- Modeling and simulation: Use numerical simulation methods to predict the performance of materials under different impact conditions and reduce the number of actual tests.
