The toughening effect of microscopic filament misalignment on macroscopic ballistic fabric response
Source abstract
Abstract
Typically the observed rupture of a woven fabric is not abrupt, but has a period of decay or ''softening''. One source of this interval is the misalignment of the filaments in the fabric, which leads to locally inhomogeneous rupture that manifests itself as gradual macroscopic failure. In this communication, we investigate the effect of microstructural misalignment on the failure of filament bundles used in lightweight ballistic shielding, and its consequent toughening effect.
