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 …

Combat helmets provide protection against ballistic threats and blunt impact forces, and
wearing them has greatly reduced head injuries and saved lives of many soldiers. With the …

A critical review on the factors affecting the impact resistance behaviour of soft body armour
is presented here. The effect of several material and structural parameters of fibrous …

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 …

The great interlaminar strength and designability of 3D woven fabrics have application
prospects in personal protective armor. This research reports the influence of clamping …

This article provides a simulation methodology based on the concept of virtual fibres and
digital elements which can be used to determine the mechanical behaviour of 3D woven …

Abstract 3D woven fabric has great potential applications in body armor due to its good
mouldability. This paper reports the ballistic mechanism of 3DAWF under the Full Metal …

This paper presents a multi-scale progressive failure modeling scheme to analyze the
damage behaviors of 3D angle-interlock woven composites under uniaxial tension. The …

3D angle interlock woven fabric (3DAWF) has great potential for impact protection. This
paper investigates the ballistic mechanism of 3DAWF (5 layers of angle interlock–through …

Abstract 3D warp interlock fabric became a promising structure to develop women body
armour due to its good mouldability. However, its performance toward ballistic impact for …
