Abstract
Superplastic protective structures (SPPS) designed from regular materials are dedicated for protection against impact, penetration or explosion. An increase in resistance of the structure to dynamic loading is provided by a high level of the total strain energy of SPPS under extension. Some principles of creating SPPS and some aspects of the effectiveness of their application are considered. The comparative role of two main factors — the strength and the limiting strain energy of the structure — is examined. In this context, the following processes are analyzed: collision of a tank filled by a fluid with a rigid obstacle, impact of a projectile onto a plate, a spherical shell under an internal explosion, and perforation of a composite armor.
