The ceramics have been widely used armor materials in the world depending on their high hardness

high modulus and low density.The research and application of ceramic materials in armor application were reviewed

and the development of ceramic materials including ceramic composite armor and ceramic/metal functionally graded composite armor was expounded.The physical behavior and mechanical properties as well as ballistic performance of ceramic armor materials were described emphatically

and the dynamic mechanical behavior of ceramic armor materials was introduced

and the development and research prospect of ceramic dynamics were also put forward.
