TL;DR: In this article, an analytical model was developed to predict the amount of energy absorbed by each mechanism, ballistic limit, duration of the impact event, through-thickness failure distance, and residual velocity.

TL;DR: Carbon fibers exhibit exceptional properties such as high stiffness and specific strength, making them excellent reinforcements for composite materials, but it is difficult to directly measure their tensile properties and estimates are often obtained by tensioning fiber bundles or composites.

TL;DR: This effort focused on identifying a robust skin detection scheme that is appropriate for video application and modeled skin reflectance to identify unique skin features and compare them to potential false positive materials.
