A ceramic armour plate has auxetic reinforcement. The auxetic reinforcement may be provided utilising auxetic fibres, auxetic knits or weaves, or lay-ups exhibiting auxetic behavior (i.e. having negative Poisson's ratio). The auxetic reinforcement reduces cracking of the ceramic plate to improve multi-hit performance. The reinforcement may be provided as a layer bonded to the surface of the ceramic plate or as an integral part of the ceramic plate. |
