In this study, the impact resistance of two-dimensional (2D) fabrics and three-dimensional
(3D) preforms is explained. These fabrics and preforms include 2D and 3D woven and …

Stab-protective clothing is the most important component of safety equipment and it helps to
save the lives of its wearers; therefore, it is designed to resist knife, nail, or needle attacks …

A series of economical and flexible fabrics were prepared using high-strength polyester
yarns with different fabric structures, weft density and number of layers. The effect of these …

In recent years, stab protection is getting increasing attention from the researchers and
practitioners. Most of the stab protective vests are made of high-performance fibre based …

Stab resistance is a crucial material property in the case of fabrics used in personal
protection equipment due to the extensive occurrence of this threat. Personal Protection …

We visualized, in real time, the deformation and failure of single fibers that were transversely
cut at high loading rate. A reverse impact experimental technique was employed to …

Despite numerous research investigations to understand the influences of various structural
parameters, to the authors' knowledge, no research has been the effect of different angles of …

Fabrics constructed from 3 D warp interlock fabrics (3DWIFs) structures provide varying
flexibility and durability and are promising structures for protective applications. However, its …

In this study, the thicknesswise fibers of the low-melting polyethylene terephthalate (LPET)
nonwoven fabrics are needle punched and intertwined with the intra-laminar basalt fibers …

The aim of using protective clothing against penetration of sharp objects such as spikes is to
absorb and dissipate the kinematic energy of the object to prevent body injury. In this study …
