A comparative study on the penetration resistance of HS-UHTCC, RPC, and UHTCC thick targets under long-rod projectile impact

Key Points

• HS-UHTCC exhibited superior penetration resistance compared to RPC and UHTCC under impact.
• Penetration resistance was measured using long-rod projectiles in controlled conditions.
• Analysis included detailed impact testing on thick targets made from HS-UHTCC, RPC, and UHTCC.
• Findings suggest critical insights for material selection in defense applications, enhancing protective capabilities.
