The damage of fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite materials induced by impact load
is one of the most critical factors that restrict extensive use of these materials. The behavior …

Ballistic impact onto flexible woven textile fabrics is a complicated multi-scale problem given
the structural hierarchy of the materials, anisotropic material behavior, projectile geometry …

The great interlaminar strength and designability of 3D woven fabrics have application
prospects in personal protective armor. This research reports the influence of clamping …

In this article the deformation and energy absorption modes of shear thickening fluid (STF)
treated and untreated Kevlar woven fabrics upon impact has been presented. It was found …

The ballistic performance of thick ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE)
composite was experimentally determined for panel thicknesses ranging from 9 mm to 100 …

Body armors are generally made of several layers of para-aramid fabrics, with Kevlar being
the most popular among them. While Kevlar has high strength to weight ratio and sufficient …

First, a semi-analytical model for determining inter-yarn static and kinetic coefficients of
friction for plain woven fabric is derived. The model requires few parameters from the load …

The probabilistic impact responses of single layer greige and scoured plain-weave Kevlar
KM2 fabrics are experimentally studied. Single-layer, 101 cm× 101 cm fabric targets are …

Abstract 3D woven fabric has great potential applications in body armor due to its good
mouldability. This paper reports the ballistic mechanism of 3DAWF under the Full Metal …

This study was carried out to understand and evaluate the response of 3 D woven fabrics
upon the simulated ballistic forces. Under the low-velocity impact, analytical and numerical …
