The effect of steel, copper and aluminum interlayer on the stress wave propagation of ceramic/ Ti6Al4V armors were studied by traditional Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar system in this paper. Based on the SHPB experimental results, the stress wave propagation mechanism and energy absorption in tri-layered structure were discussed. Compared to ceramic/Ti6Al4V structure without interlayer, the steel, copper and aluminum interlayer could attenuate the transmission stress level and greatly increase the energy absorption of the structure. Due to the high acoustic reluctance of steel and copper interlayer, the reflected shock wave was in compressed situation and extended a tri-axial compressive stress within the ceramic which could improve the anti-penetration properties of ceramic plate. The numerical modeling studies of ballistic testing were carried on, and then the energy densities were compared. The results showed the steel and copper interlayer could increase the energy absorption of ceramic and improve the anti-penetration of ceramic plate. The three kinds of interlayer structures all could attenuate transmitted energy and decrease the residual penetration.
