Low velocity impact on a single-ply aramid semipreg
Source abstract
Abstract
The ballistic resistance of body armor constructed of semipreg layers is well established by experiments. The occurring energy absorbing mechanisms are generally not well understood. This paper investigated the material characteristics of a single-ply semipreg. The in-plane shear behavior was measured with picture-frame experiments. Yarn pull-out measurements were executed to determine the yarn-yarn friction. Finally, low velocity impact tests were carried out to quantify the amount of energy dissipated by the different mechanisms.
