serve to protect some vital target. Because these materials behave very differently from
one another, they must be treated separately. It is this large difference in behavior, as well
as mechanical properties, which makes the selection of a material for ballistic protection
an important one.
We shall move successively through metals, concrete, soil, ceramic, and ...
