Abstract
Ballistic tests were conducted using hard-steel cylinders of two diameters and three nose shapes against glass-fibre-reinforced plastic (GRP) composite plates of various thicknesses. The data when plotted as energy to penetrate as a function of target thickness exhibit simple bi-linear relationships. This is also found to be the case for a broad range of reported composite ballistic impact data. A simple model is developed to explain the...
