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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The response of natural fibre composites to ballistic impact by fragment simulating projectiles
TL;DR: In this paper, the ballistic properties of flax, hemp and jute fabric reinforced polypropylene composites processed by hot compression molding were investigated, and the composites' ballistic limit was determined by subjecting the material to ballistic impact loading by fragment simulating projectiles (FSPs) using a block manometric cannon interchangeable (BMCI) gun.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and numerical analysis of normal and oblique ballistic impacts on thin carbon/epoxy woven laminates
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element numerical model for carbon/epoxy woven laminates has been used to predict residual velocity and damaged area when subjected to high impact velocities.

Effect of basalt fiber hybridization on the impact behavior under low impact velocity of glass/basalt woven fabric/epoxy resin composites
Fabrizio Sarasini,Jacopo Tirillò,Marco Valente,Teodoro Valente,Salvatore Cioffi,Salvatore Iannace,Luigi Sorrentino +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the low velocity impact behavior of E-glass/basalt reinforced hybrid laminates, manufactured by resin transfer molding technique, was investigated and the residual post-impact mechanical properties of the different configurations were characterized by quasi static four point bending tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ballistic impact behavior of hybrid composites
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study on the ballistic impact behavior of hybrid composites is presented, and it is observed that ballistic limit velocity, V 50 can be increased by adding E-glass layers to T300 carbon layers compared with only carbon composites for the same laminate thickness.

Impact and delamination failure of woven-fabric composites
Jang Kyo Kim,Man Lung Sham +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the fracture behavior and failure mechanisms of composite laminates containing woven fabrics in mode I and mode II delamination and under impact loading is presented, where potential advantages of using woven fabrics as opposed to cross-ply unidirectional prepreg tapes are discussed from the viewpoint of the microstructure/property relationship.
