Structural Repair of Composite Structural Armor

Composite structural armor (CSA) is a multifunctional material that provides ballistic protection, stiffness, and strength at minimum weight. It consists of a multilayered architecture of polymer composites, rubber and ceramic tiles, stacked in a precise manner to obtain optimal performance. During its lifetime, CSA will experience manufacturing defects and be subjected from low to high velocity impact threats that will reduce the performance of...
