Description

Context : Current armour protection requires to stop new type of threats, such as secondary debris (dirt and soil) ejected from nearby explosives events.

Approach: The currents testing standards and norms for testing and evaluation of body armour do not provide any means to assess the actual protection level for very light particles at high speed (from 100 – 1000 m/s). The goal of this research project is to develop an appropriate testing methodology, easy to use in a laboratory environment.

Role of the student: The student shall participate in the testing activities needed for developing the new methodology in collaboration with the laboratory workers. Also the student shall participate in bibliographic research, interpretation and discussion of the results and drafting reports or presentations.
