The design of mosaic armour: The influence of tile size on ballistic performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that there is a critical dimension of tile that should be used in a silicon carbide-based ceramic-faced mosaic armour system design to ensure optimum system performance when each tile is struck centrally.
