The importance of natural fibres over synthetic fibres have gained significant attention in the
research area, due to their higher specific strength, stiffness, lightweight and inexpensive …

The main focus of this review is on soft composites, relatively new to the literature. The
ballistic fabrics, mechanism of ballistic energy absorption and parameters affect the ballistic …

Shear thickness fluid (STF) is considered an ideal filler to enhance the mechanical
behaviour of in-plane honeycomb due to its special rheological properties. In order to …

Shear thickening fluids (STFs) can effectively enhance the ballistic performance of Kevlar.
Considering that the unique shear thickening effect of STF is the key factor to enhance the …

A comprehensive study on the impact behaviour of UHMWPE woven fabrics is presented in
this paper, which consists of four parts: geometric measurement of fabric parameters, tensile …

As destructive power of firearms raises over the years, ballistic armors are in continuous
need of enhancement. For soft armors, this improvement is invariably related to the increase …

The impact response of aramid Twaron CT709 fabrics thinly coated with a commercially
available spray-on rubber material has been studied for the first time. Both neat and rubber …

Safety issues currently limit the development of advanced lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) and
this is exacerbated when they are misused or abused. The addition of small amounts of …

This study elaborates on the effects of matrix rigidity on the high-velocity impact behaviour of
UHMWPE textile composites using experimental and numerical methods. Textile composite …

Ballistic impact tests were conducted on polymer-coated multi-layer fabric targets using
0.357 SIG projectiles. The effect of fatigue loading on the yarn pull-out force of coated …
