1. Interaction of Cylindrical Penetrators with Ceramic and Electromagnetic Armour
Abstract : Armoured vehicles have traditionally used steel armour as protection against penetrators such as projectiles and shaped charge jets. The latter produce a thin stretching metal jet, usually of copper, with a tip velocity of about 7-8 km/s. READ MORE

2. Impact of Metallic Projectiles on a Ceramic Target Surface : Transition Between Interface Defeat and Penetration
Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to gain understanding of the load on flat target surfaces produced by projectile impact. Models are proposed from which upper and lower bounds can be derived for the transition be-tween interface defeat and normal penetration. READ MORE

3. Interaction between High-velocity Penetrators and Moving Armour Components
Abstract : This work was aimed at understanding mechanisms of importance for the design of weight-efficient armour against long-rod projectiles (LRP) and shaped charge (SC) warheads. The focus was on how to achieve effective mechanical disturbances on the threat before it hits the target. READ MORE
