其他摘要:The protective areal density of any armour material is the important property required for armour design. In this study, ballistic performance of hot pressed boron carbide tiles, with a tile thickness of 12.2 mm, was evaluated using the protective areal density (PAD) test method, against hard steel 12.7 mm armour piercing (AP) projectiles. The binary response data on complete penetration/ partial penetration obtained from PAD testing was fitted with the standard logistic regression model. A detailed discussion on statistical procedure has been presented. The PAD (pp = 0.5) was estimated to be 82.5 kg/m2 and the lower and upper bounds of 95 per cent confidence interval for (PAD) (pp = 0.5) was found to lie between 79.5 kg/m2 and 85.0 kg/m2.
