Ballistic impact mechanisms – A review on textiles and fibre-reinforced composites impact responses
Mulat Alubel Abtew,François Boussu,François Boussu,Pascal Bruniaux,Pascal Bruniaux,Carmen Loghin,Irina Cristian +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of ballistic textiles and composites involved in the ballistic application including body armour is presented, and various technical approaches used for better understanding of the very complex process of the ballistic impact mechanisms and their responses to the materials are discussed.

An analysis of deformation and energy absorption modes of shear thickening fluid treated Kevlar fabrics as soft body armour materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the deformation and energy absorption modes of shear thickening fluid (STF) treated and untreated Kevlar woven fabrics upon impact has been presented, and it was found that only the primary yarns, which are engaged by the impactor, participate in load sharing and hence energy absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in modeling and experiments of Kevlar ballistic fibrils, fibers, yarns and flexible woven textile fabrics – a review
TL;DR: Ballistic impact onto flexible woven textile fabrics is a complicated multi-scale problem given the structural hierarchy of the materials, anisotropic material behavior, and projectile geometry-fabric.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of inter-yarn friction and its effect on ballistic response of para-aramid woven fabric under low velocity impact
TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-analytical model for determining inter-yarn static and kinetic coefficients of friction for plain woven fabric is derived, which requires few parameters from the load-displacement curve obtained in a pull-out experiment.

High velocity impact behavior of Kevlar/rubber and Kevlar/epoxy composites: A comparative study
Amin Khodadadi,Gholamhossein Liaghat,Gholamhossein Liaghat,Ahmad Reza Bahramian,Hamed Ahmadi,Yavar Anani,S. Samaneh Asemani,Omid Razmkhah +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of behavior and energy absorption of neat Kevlar fabric and polymer matrix composites under high velocity impact loading was performed by firing a 10-mm hemispherical projectile onto neat fabric and composites in a velocity range of 30-150m/s for two and four-layer samples.

Ballistic Impact of Dry Woven Fabric Composites: A Review
Ala Tabiei,Gaurav Nilakantan +1 more
TL;DR: The ballistic impact performance of PBO systems is substantially superior to Kevlar 29 systems and marginally better than Kevlar KM2 systems 4 as mentioned in this paper, when gripped on all four edges, and almost 12 times that of aluminum fuselage skin.

Perforation of high-strength fabric by projectiles of different geometry
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the ballistic limits, energy absorption behaviour and the mechanisms that lead to perforation in Twaron ® CT 716 plain-woven, single-ply fabric by different shaped projectiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perforation of high-strength double-ply fabric system by varying shaped projectiles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact phenomenon of double-ply systems that consists of Twaron® CT 716 fabric and projectiles of the following nose shapes: hemispherical, flat, ogival (CRH 2.5) and conical (half-angle of 30°).

Effect of projectile shape during ballistic perforation of VARTM carbon/epoxy composite panels
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of ballistic impact tests have been performed on satin weave carbon/epoxy laminates of 3.2 and 6.5 mm thickness, with projectile geometries representing hemispherical, conical, fragment simulating and flat tip.

Finite element evaluation of projectile nose angle effects in ballistic perforation of high strength fabric
TL;DR: In this paper, a realistic finite element model of TWARON fabric at yarn level is generated with eight node solid elements, and the effects of several parameters including energy absorption, size of the hole made by the projectile and von-Mises stress distribution for different nose angles and time steps are investigated.
