Abstract
Apparatus and methods described herein provide for a structural armor configured to provide load-bearing capabilities to a structure, as well as to provide protection from hypervelocity impacts. According to one aspect of the disclosure provided herein, the structural armor may include two armor facesheets, with an angular member core disposed between. The angular member core may include a number of nodes abutting the armor facesheets, with angular members intersecting at the nodes at acute node angles from the armor facesheets and extending between the armor facesheets. The acute node angles correspond with estimated spread angles of a debris field resulting from an impact of an object with an armor facesheet while moving at hypervelocity speed.
