Single Curve-Single hit vs Multi Curve-Multi Hit

Single-Curved Ballistic Ceramic Plates: A Simpler Design

Single-curved plates, while simpler in design, are more vulnerable. Their single ceramic layer, though effective against a single impact, is susceptible to spalling and penetration, especially with multiple hits. The impact point bears the full force, potentially leading to catastrophic failure.

Multi-Curved Multi-Hit Ceramic Plates: a superior solution

Multi-curved multi-hit plates offer superior protection. Their layered design, often with varying thicknesses and ceramic materials, distributes impact force over a larger area. The outer layers absorb the initial shock, fragmenting to reduce energy transfer to subsequent layers. This staged energy absorption enables the plate to withstand multiple impacts. The layered structure also mitigates spalling, as fragments are contained within the plate. While more complex and costly to produce, the enhanced protection and durability make them a superior choice for applications requiring sustained ballistic resistance.
