In recent years, hybrid composite materials are of increasing interest during the search for new materials to be used as ballistic barriers (shields) and kinetic energy absorbers. The main objective of this study is to test the energy absorption capacity of Zn-Al alloys filled with various polymer materials (epoxy resin, polyurethane resin and silicone). The ballistic resistance of modern hybrid materials to direct firing of a 5.56 × 45 mm SS109 projectile and during quasi-static piercing test is examined. Next, a numerical simulation in the ABAQUS environment is performed. In order to accurately reproduce the foam structure, a computed microtomography (CT) system is used. In the simulation of deformations of viscoplastic bodies, the Lagrange and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) methods are applied. The obtained results from numerical analyses are verified with experimental results. Metallic foams are proven to have only a remote influence on the impact load, while, when filled with polyurethane resin, they show resistance to the overshoot. Performed simulation supports the detailed analysis of the impact energy dissipation for each of the samples.

近年来，在寻找用作弹道屏障（防护罩）和动能吸收器的新材料的过程中，混合复合材料越来越受到关注。本研究的主要目的是测试填充各种聚合物材料（环氧树脂、聚氨酯树脂和有机硅）的锌铝合金的能量吸收能力。检查了现代混合材料对 5.56 × 45 毫米 SS109 弹丸直接发射和准静态穿刺试验期间的弹道阻力。接下来，在 ABAQUS 环境中进行数值模拟。为了准确再现泡沫结构，使用了计算机显微断层扫描 (CT) 系统。在粘塑性体的变形模拟中，应用了拉格朗日和光滑粒子流体动力学 (SPH) 方法。数值分析得到的结果与实验结果相验证。事实证明，金属泡沫对冲击载荷的影响很小，而当填充聚氨酯树脂时，它们显示出对过冲的抵抗力。执行的模拟支持对每个样品的冲击能量耗散进行详细分析。
