Abstract: The goal of this study is to develop hybrid composites to experimentally and numerically assess their behavior under a ballistic impact. The Al$_2$O$_3$ ceramic/woven fabric (Kevlar or UHMWPE) reinforced epoxy/Al-alloy multi-layered armours are developed. Simulation and ballistic test results show good agreement.

Keywords: ballistic test, alumina, 5074 Al-alloy, back face signature.
