Ballistic Impact of Textile Structures
TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic finite-element computer technique was used to model the impact of a single fiber on a woven textile panel, and the vast majority of ballistic energy was deposited in the orthogonal fibers passing through the impact point, while the other fibers are essentially ineffective.
