Experimental Characterization of the Effect of Microstructure on the Dynamic Behavior of SiC

For roughly fifteen years the military has sought to use the properties of ceramics for armor applications. Current high-performance ceramics have extremely high compressive strengths and low densities. One ceramic that has been shown to be highly resistant under ballistic impact is silicon carbid...
