With the advancement of firearms and explosive weapons on the battlefield or during law
enforcement, the requirements of flexible protective systems have been made more …

By encapsulating shear thickening fluid (STF) in Ecoflex-0030, a kind of composite structure
with excellent anti-impact and high energy absorption properties was obtained. The drop …

The influence of intralayer interfacial sliding among yarns on the enhancement of anti-
impact and energy absorption was investigated in this work. Firstly, the rheological test and …

A multifunctional smart material with both shear thickening effect and magnetorheological
performance was fabricated by dispersing carbonyl iron powder (CIP) particles into shear …

Fumed silica shear thickening fluids (STFs) have gained significant interest in recent years
due to their distinctive rheological behavior and potential applications in various fields. The …

The effect of dilatant fluids embodied within the cores of the sandwich composite panels
(SCP) have not been exploited much but it promises to enhance the energy absorption of …

Hypothesis The viscosity of dense suspensions surges when the applied stress surpasses a
material-specific critical threshold. There is growing evidence that the thickening transition …

In studies of ballistic impact, the materials used in body armor must have high hardness,
light weight, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and other high performance …

Multi-layer fabrics are commonly used in ballistics shields with a lower bulletproof class to
protect against pistol and revolver bullets. In order to additionally limit the dynamic deflection …

STFs have been widely used for soft body-armor because of STF reversible and repeatable
thickening characteristics. However, shear thickening mechanism characterized by …
