Experimental investigation of the role of frictional yarn pull-out and windowing on the probabilistic impact response of kevlar fabrics
TL;DR: In this article, a probabilistic impact response of single-layer greige and scoured plain-weave Kevlar KM2 fabrics is experimentally studied and the results indicate that frictional yarn sliding and pull-out are the primary energy dissipating mechanisms during these impact conditions.

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.

A numerical investigation of the influence of friction on energy absorption by a high-strength fabric subjected to ballistic impact
TL;DR: A finite element analysis was conducted to study the influence of friction during ballistic impact of a rigid sphere onto a square fabric panel that was firmly clamped along its four edges as discussed by the authors, which indicated that friction dramatically affects the local fabric structure at the impact region by hindering the lateral mobility of principal yarns.
