Abstract:

In order to enhance and test the fragment penetration resistance of the material structure,the polyurea/aramid fiber aluminum alloy composite protection structure was constructed by spraying polyurea technology with polyurea, aramid fiber and 2024-T351 aluminum alloy materials,and the mechanical properties of polyurea are measured and analyzed. By comparing the protection properties of composite materials under different coating thicknesses and methods,the ballistic limit velocity of different protection structures were obtained,and the failure modes and mechanisms of materials were analyzed.The relationship between coating thickness and protection effect was further studied,and the optimal coating thickness ratio was determined. The results show that the local damage degree of aluminum alloy composite plate coated with 2mm polyurea/2mm aramid fiber is small. The ballistic limit velocity of the coated composite target plate is increased by 96m/s and the protective effect is increased by 36.64% compared with the uncoated condition. The thickness of the protective coating has limited effect on the ballistic limit velocity. Considering the surface density and material strength,the numerical simulation results show that the optimal thickness of polyurea/aramid fiber coating is 4mm to 6 mm,and the optimal thickness ratio is 6:4 ratio of polyurea to aramid fiber for the fragmentation resistance of 4mm aluminum alloy plate.
