Korean-peacekeeper's transparent armors in Iraq showed delamination, cracking and clouding a decade ago. And there were also similar deterioration recurrences in KLTV during the operational test a few years ago. Also, the differences between operational capability & lab Bullet-proof test condition, and insufficiency of military protection spec resulted in incomplete bullet-proof results. Moreover, although so many ground weapon systems have been developed, there were not secure test & evaluation codes to verify transparent armoured glasses equal to advanced-overseas products. So in this study, first, environmental test codes were established that all tests should be carried out as the application of only one specimen with newly adopted thermal shock test instead of completing each test with different one. Second, protection standards were integrated through the analysis of global developed country's specifications and reinforced as adding to the real mock-up condition if vehicle's glasses are smaller than standard specimen. Hereby, by applying to test-codes which including actual operational & vehicular conditions, the gap between development test and operational environment was minimized.

Borosilicate glass(GVB-Solutions in glass, 2mm, Germany) was prepared in the composition of $80.4SiO_2-4.2Na_2O-2.4Al_2O_3-13.0B_2O_3$. The 2-step crystallization was performed around $584^{\circ}C$ of glass transition temperature ($T_g$), and $774^{\circ}C$ of crystallization temperature($T_c$). The maximum nucleation rate was $8.8{\time}10^9/mm^3{\cdot}hr$ at $600^{\circ}C$ and the maximum crystal growth rate was 3.5nm/min at $750^{\circ}C$. The maximum mechanical properties were observed at 22.8% of volume fraction, the strength, hardness and fracture toughness was 555MPa, $752kg/mm^2$, $1.082MPa{\cdot}mm^{1/2}$. The crystal size of 177nm which has volume fraction of 22.8% showed maximum strength of 562MPa, it is about 157% higher than parent borosilicate glass. From these results, the crystallized borosilicate glass can be applied weight lighting of bullet proof materials.

Transparent bulletproof windows play an important role in the munitions industry. The thickness of bulletproof windows including soda-lime silicate(SLS) glass, polyvinyl butyral, poly urethane, main defense(200MD), and safety film was reduced from 40mm to 29mm by adjustment of SLS glass laminated array. Borosilicate glasses generally have lower surface density and more excellent mechanical properties than SLS glass. Borosilicate glass was strengthened by ion exchange in the $KNO_3$ powder. The maximum mechanical properties were observed at $550^{\circ}C$ for 10min. The Vickers hardness, fracture toughness and 3-point bending strength of ion exchanged samples were about $775kg/mm^2$, $1.91MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ and 764MPa each, which are about 27%, 149% and 249% higher than parent borosilicate glass, respectively. The penetration depth of K+ ion at $550^{\circ}C$ for 10min was $59.8{\mu}m$. As a result, the transparent bulletproof windows were predicted to be more lightweight by ion exchange of borosilicate glass. If the SLS glass for bulletproof windows is replaced by ion exchanged borosilicate glass, the bulletproof windows can be expected to be lightweight and thinner.

전면재를 알루미나, 후면재를 Kevlar또는 S-2 유리 섬유강화 복합재료로 접합한 이종재료 장갑에 대하여 알루미나의 두께 변화와 복합재료의 적층구조에 따른 고속충격 특성 변화에 대하여 연구하였다. 또한 시험재료의 동적 관통현상을 분석하기 위하여 고속촬영기법이 이용되었다. 시험결과, 전면재인 알루미나는 충격탄자 직경의 80% 상당하는 두께(본 실험에서는 6nm)인 경우 양호한 방탄성능을 보였다. 후면재인 복합재료는 섬유를 alternating 주조로 적층한 경우가 laminar구조로 적층한 것에 비하여 더 우수한 방탄성능을 나타내었다.

정지궤도위성인 통신해양기상위성은 2010년 발사 예정인데, 관련된 일련의 성능 시험중에는 수백 기압의 헬륨 가스로 채워진 추진계 탱크의 고압 내구 시험도 포함되어 있다. 이 논문에서는 시험 시스템에 최악의 사고가 일어날 경우를 대비하여 그 위험도를 계산하여 보았다. 두 가지 시나리오가 있는데, 첫째는 310 기압의 헬륨 탱크가 현재의 시험챔버에서 일시에 파열하는 경우, 둘째는 116 기압의 감압된 헬륨 탱크가 방탄유리로 보호되고 있는 방에서 파열하는 경우를 가정해 보았다. 폭발파 전파 이론과 전산 수치 모사를 통하여, 제한된 공간에서 반사되는 파동의 역학을 매우 복잡한 비정상 유동 물리에 대하여 분석하였다.

Multi-layered laminate made of ceramic/composite have been developed to prevent penetration by high velocity impact. In this study, three-layered plates consisted of 1) cover layer (glass fiber reinforced polymer), 2) $Al_{2}O_{3}$, ceramic plate, and 3) backing plate (glass fiber reinforced polymer) were fabricated with various conditions and tested for their ballistic protection characteristic. The ceramic composite laminates, with thin backing plate, were completely penetrated by armor piercing projectile. The plate with inserted rubber between ceramic and backing plate showed excellent ballistic protection, though completely penetrated by the second shoot.

There are a number of studies on chemically strengthened glass. Most of them are strengthened in molten salt bath below transformation range of glass. This research is distinguished from the aforementioned studies in that single $KNO_3$ powder was used by employing screen printing technique. In this study soda-lime-silicate(SLS) glasses for bulletproof glass application with various thicknesses were used. The maximum value of the bending strength is 791MPa heat treated at $480^{\circ}C$, which is about 4.3 times higher than the parent glass, which is the highest strength of all soda-lime glasses. In this study, it is also observed that Vickers hardness increased to $657H_v$, which is about 15% higher than the parent glass($568.7H_v$) and fracture toughness was not changed. Depth profiles measured by electron probe micro analyzer(EPMA) showed a correlation between the migrations of $K^+$ ions with bending strength of ion exchanged glasses.

For application of transparent bulletproof materials, the SLS(soda-lime-silicate) glass was heated by 2-step crystallization. The DTA curve for SLS glass revealed the nucleation and crystal growth temperature at about $575^{\circ}C$ and $675^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystallized glass was heated at various conditions(temperature, time). As a result, the maximum nucleation and crystal growth rates were $3.8\times10^5/mm^3{\cdot}hr$ at $575^{\circ}C$ and 20.58nm/min at $680^{\circ}C$, respectively. The bending strength, fracture toughness and vickers hardness were 451.7MPa, $0.9388MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, and $693.9H_v$ which were 201%, 31%, and 22% higher than parent glass, respectively. Surface image and transmittance of crystallized SLS glass were analyzed by optical microscopy and UV/VIS/NIR spectrophotometer. Transmittance of crystallized SLS glass at visible-range(200~800nm) was not changed.

Borosilicate glass (81% $SiO_2$-2% $Al_2O_3$-13% $B_2O_3$-4% $Na_2O_3$) was prepared, and the glass was ion exchanged in $KNO_3$ powder containing different temperature and time. The $K^+-Na^+$ ion exchange takes place at the glass surface and creates compressed stress, which raise the mechanical strength of the glass. The depth profile of $Na^+$ and $K^+$ was observed by electron probe micro analyzer. With the increasing heat-treatment time from 0min to 20min, the depth profile was increased from 17.1um to 29.4um, but mechanical properties were decreased. It was also found out that excessive heat treatment brings stress relaxation. The Vickers hardness, Fracture Toughness and bending strength of ion exchanged samples at $570^{\circ}C$ for 10min were $821.8H_v$, $1.3404MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, and 953MPa, which is about 120%, 180%, and 450% higher than parent borosilicate glass, respectively. Transmittance was analyzed by UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer. Transmittance of ion exchanged borosilicate glass was decreased slightly at visible-range. It can be expected that transparent bulletproof materials in more light-weight and thinner by ion exchanged borosilicate glass.
