The bulletproof plates with materials that can convincingly be destroyed by the 7.62 mm bullet with its speed at 878 ± 9.1 m/s were developed by designing according to the National Institute of Justice Level 4 (NIJ 4). The plates were made of two flat sheets stacking SKD11 and SUS304. Their components were composed of the front and back plates; the first sheet made of SKD11 material hardening at 65 HRC with a thickness of 6 mm and the back plate made of SUS 304 material with a thickness of 5 mm. The finite element method was applied to simulate and analyze the results to demonstrate the bullet resistance to the perforation by setting perpendicular sheet to the bullets. Therefore the simulating studies for the bullet firing were demonstrated by locating its angles of 15 30 45 and 60 degrees to the SKD11 sheet with a thickness of 6 8 and10 mm coupled with the SUS304 sheet with a thickness of 5 6 8 and 10 mm. These plates were stacking into two layers then the finite element method was applied to simulate one at a time. The results showed that the first sheet of SKD11 with 6 mm of thickness could resist the perforation of the bullet at 60 degree and the plate thickness of 8 and 10 mm could start resisting to the perforation at 45 degree. The second sheet of SUS304 with the thickness of 5 6 8 and 10 mm were incapable to resist to the perforation and the refraction of the bullet direction as good as that of SKD11. Therefore the principle applying two metal sheets stacked into layers was essential to impel the resistance of the bullet perforation and change the direction of the bullet.

Run flat wheels for small armored regular trucks have been re-developed by transformation from the original metallic material to compound materials polymer group materials as important raw materials then added with aluminum oxide powder to achieve higher strength and wear resistance. The research was performed by using reverse engineering processes including designing and analysis with finite element methodology with the SolidWorks Simulation program and comparing the analyzed results with outcome experiments. Several variables used for the design and analysis were 1) the optimal width of the run flat wheel at the parts both attached to the wheel pan and contacted with the inner rubber surface 2) internal and external radiuses. The internal radius is depending on the size of the wheel pan and the external radius is a variable that determines the height of the Run flat wheel. 3) the shape designed to prevent wearing of the inner tire surface of the run flat wheel and the shape of the run flat reel in the part contacted with the wheel pan. This wheel pan part is such uneven inclined area which is difficult to hold. 4) a design locking kit for tightly fastening the run flat reels to the wheel pan 5) the material used to create the run flat wheel and 6) tire pressure. The run-flat wheels were then designed and constructed in a modular form of 3 parts for ease of the wheel pan assembly. In designing pattern the assembling run flat reels had to be fit into the characteristics of a small armored regular truck wheel pan convenient to assemble with a wheel pan and tightly attached without looseness or deformation when impacted. The run flat reel gripping device has been redesigned to lock all three run flat parts together. It brought up the impact resistance from body weight was at 50 km/hr.

Creating and simulating armor firing pattern using ANSYS Explicit Dynamic program. damage test is based on National Institute of Justice level 3 standards with material of the ammunition is 7.62 mm tungsten carbide (WC) and speed 847 + 9.1m/s. there are two types of bulletproof armor used in this simulation 1. SKD11 2. Aluminum AL7075. The simulations is into 1 category Simulation of stacked armor plates. The sizes of the armor plates are 6 8 and 10 mm and the angles of firing of bulletproof armor are 0 30 and 45 degrees. result of this simulation armor thickness and firing angle are factors of penetration resistance. when the angle of the projectile is tilted it will cause the projectile to deflect reducing the frictional contact from the impact.
