Abstract
The goal of this study is to develop hybrid composites to experimentally and numerically assess their behavior under a ballistic impact. The Al2O3 ceramic/woven fabric (Kevlar or UHMWPE) reinforced epoxy/Al-alloy multi-layered armours are developed. Simulation and ballistic test results show good agreement.
