Ballistic impact mechanisms – A review on textiles and fibre-reinforced composites impact responses
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Ballistic impact mechanism is a very complex mechanical process mainly depends on the thickness, strength, ductility, toughness and density of the target material and projectile parameters. Nowadays, the developments of tough, high-strength, High-modulus fibres have led to the use of fabrics and their composite laminates for various impact-related applications. In this review paper, the various ballistic textiles and composites involved in the ballistic application including body armour will be outlined. Besides, various technical approaches used for better understanding of the very complex process of the ballistic impact mechanisms and their responses to the materials will be discussed. The different influential mechanisms which prominently affect the ballistic impact performances of the target will be discussed. While discussing the different factors, besides experimental research work different analytical, numerical modelling and empirical techniques based research approaches have been also considered.
