"Applications of polyurea coatings in blast and ballistic damage reduct" by Damith Mohotti, Sudharshan N. Raman et al.
Metal-polyurea composites have gained significant interest as a potential composite in resisting blast and ballistic impact loads. Although the loading mechanisms are different for these two types of loading, they both fall under the category of high-strain-inducing loads. Resisting such loads require high energy absorption capabilities, which is the main advantage that has promoted the use of elastomers such as polyurea in these applications. This chapter presents the findings of experimental and numerical investigations involving metal-polyurea composites under a blast load equivalent to 1kg...
