Composite materials in armor applications are commonly subjected to different deformation and failure mechanisms, which result in delamination of the solid laminate. Direct planar plate impact experiments were executed in order to study spall behavior of Dyneema® HB26. For the first time, the spall behavior of UHMWPE composites was determined by evaluating the free surface velocity measured via Photonic...
