These novel armors absorb the impact energy of the bullet through compression. Composite metal foam is able to compress to strains greater than 60% and absorb the kinetic energy of the bullet and fragments in doing so. Videos of the ballistic and fragment impacts are shown below. My work on CMF armors has been published in various journals and reached the top most downloaded articles for <em>Advanced Engineering Materials<\/em> and <em>Composite Structures<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Ballistic Testing Against 0.50 Caliber AP Threat<\/h4>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Metal Foam Stops .50 Caliber Rounds As Well As Steel\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AKx7QV5bukw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Blast and Fragment Impact using High Explosive Incendiary Round<\/h4>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NC State: Composite metal foam withstands high explosive round\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yMVEQh5Akcc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ballistic, Blast, and Fragment Impact of Composite Metal Foam Armors My primary research has focused on manufacturing and testing composite metal foam armors in an&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8220,"featured_media":0,"parent":133,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-44","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jmarx.wordpress.ncsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/44","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jmarx.wordpress.ncsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jmarx.wordpress.ncsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jmarx.wordpress.ncsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8220"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jmarx.wordpress.ncsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=44"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/jmarx.wordpress.ncsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/44\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":92,"href":"https:\/\/jmarx.wordpress.ncsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/44\/revisions\/92"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jmarx.wordpress.ncsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jmarx.wordpress.ncsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=44"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
