Why Ceramic Armor? Hard but brittle!

Ceramics at first glance don't seem be a particularly good material for armor, especially not for tank armor, considering how brittle they can be. Of course, there is difference between our "household" ceramics and technical ceramics, still various properties like brittleness remain. In this video Professor Paul Hazell (UNSW Canberra) and I talk about how ceramic armor can be used against shaped charges, but also kinetic rounds. We also look at strength and weaknesses in comparison to steel. Cover Photo by Cpl Tyler L.
