Journal ArticleDOI
The ballistic impact characteristics of Kevlar® woven fabrics impregnated with a colloidal shear thickening fluid
TL;DR: In this paper, a composite material composed of woven Kevlar® fabric impregnated with a colloidal shear thickening fluid (silica particles (450 nm) dispersed in ethylene glycol) was reported to yield a flexible yet penetration resistant composite material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic properties of shear thickening colloidal suspensions
Young Sil Lee,Norman J. Wagner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the transient shear rheology (i.e., frequency and strain dependence) is compared to a model colloidal dispersion through the shear thickening transition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Yarn Pull-Out as a Mechanism for Dissipating Ballistic Impact Energy in Kevlar® KM-2 Fabric: Part I: Quasi-Static Characterization of Yarn Pull-Out
Keith M. Kirkwood,John E. Kirkwood,Young Sil Lee,Ronald G. Egres,Norman J. Wagner,Eric D. Wetzel +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-empirical model is presented for predicting the yam pull-out force and energy as a function of pullout distance, including yarn uncrimping and subsequent yam translation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The Effect of Rheological Parameters on the Ballistic Properties of Shear Thickening Fluid (STF)-Kevlar Composites
Eric D. Wetzel,Young Sil Lee,Ronald G. Egres,Keith M. Kirkwood,John E. Kirkwood,Norman J. Wagner +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of fluid viscosity, particle loadings, and particle size and shape on the behavior of colloidal shear thickening fluids (STF•Kevlar composites was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Yarn pull-out as a mechanism for dissipating ballistic impact energy in Kevlar® KM-2 fabric. Part II: Predicting ballistic performance
John E. Kirkwood,Keith M. Kirkwood,Young Sil Lee,Ronald G. Egres,Norman J. Wagner,Eric D. Wetzel +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy absorbed in ballistic fabrics is modeled by assuming yarn pull-out, including yarn uncrimping and translation, as the primary energy absorption mechanism, and predictions of fabric ballistic performance are compared to ballistic test results.
