Review of Body Armor Research
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of body armor research with regards to categories, function, and ballistic performance; demonstrating that the improvement in materials and structures are the two basic factors promoting the technology behind body armor improvements. Additionally, this review also provides a better understanding of body armor, its importance, and the benefits of further developments in this field.
