Review explores impact resistance in fiber-reinforced ceramic composites, highlighting challenges in ballistic materials.
The review discusses the advancements in the impact resistance properties of bulletproof fiber/ceramic matrix composites. It highlights the critical role of ballistic materials in modern warfare and personal protection, underscoring the necessity for high-performance, lightweight, and flexible options. The analysis systematically investigates three composite systems-carbon fiber/ceramic, silicon carbide/ceramic, and oxide/ceramic matrix composites, focusing on their impact resistance capabilities. Key aspects, including strain-rate-dependent material response optimization, multi-scale damage modes, and performance variations under different impact velocities Lastly, the review outlines the existing challenges and future research directions to advance the utilization of ballistic fiber/ceramic matrix composites in protective applications.
