Ballistic Performance of Nanostructured Metals Toughened by Elliptical Coarse-Grained Inclusions: A Finite Element Study with Failure Analysis
Bimodal nanostructured (NS) metals, in which the nano-grains or ultrafine grains serve as matrix phase while the coarse grains serve as toughening phase, can synergize the overall strength and ductility to achieve excellent bullet-proof performance. Because of the extrusion process in the fabricatio...
