Using ceramic plates as shielding for concrete blocks against projectile penetration

The aim of this paper was to study numerically the penetration resistance of concrete structures shielded by ceramic (Al2O3-99.7%) plates. The main findings show an enhancement in the penetration resistance of about 66% while using ceramic plates. Here, we used ceramic because of its electric, magnetic, and thermal insulation. Hence, we can use concrete structures shielded by ceramic in many types of medical, nuclear, power generating and electronic applications.
