Description
Context: Current armour protection requires to stop new type of threats, such as secondary debris (dirt and soli) ejected from nearby explosives events. The student shall be part of this research project for developing a new testing methodology.
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.
