With the purpose of increasing application value and revealing the ballistic mechanism of ceramic matrix composites
it is necessary to investigate dwell phenomenon and ballistic performance of the material in the process of projectile penetration. In this paper
the behavior law of dwell is studied by utilizing numerical simulation method. The dwell behavior of aforementioned materials is investigated. Stress level and damage evolution of ceramic composites during dwell process are analyzed
and compared to common armor ceramics at the same condition. It is concluded that energy dissipated during dwell process reaches 845J in ceramic composite
respectively increasing by 46.0%
30.2% and 35.7% to the energy of B4C
SiC and AD99 Al2O3. The damage evolution in ceramic during dwell process is different from that in ceramic and full damaged composites can bear higher compression load than ceramics in the same state. As a result
the damage energy dissipation of composites accounts for 23.9% of the total dwell energy dissipation
which is almost twice as much as that dissipated in ceramic.
