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 …

Textiles have been used as preforms for high-performance composite materials. Fiber
architecture of the preform has a decisive effect on mechanical properties of composite. As a …

With the advancement of firearms and explosive weapons on the battlefield or during law
enforcement, the requirements of flexible protective systems have been made more …

The main purpose of body armors is to restrict the ballistic impact (bullet velocity~ 300 to 500
m/s). The conventional rigid body armors are typically consisting of synthetic fibers (SFs) like …

The paper presents a method of modeling impact-loaded ballistic textiles and its
implementation for Twaron CT 709 plain weave fabric. The model developed was applied to …

The fabrics made of high strength and toughness fibers are increasingly used in the
structural and individual protection. The research on energy dissipation mechanism and the …

Many researchers have reported that inter-yarn friction has an important effect on the
response of the plain-weave fabric to an impact. However, the effects of inter-yarn friction on …

The soft ballistic armour design requirement involves maximum ballistic energy absorption
with lower backface deformation at minimum possible weight. Yarn mechanical properties …

In studies of ballistic impact, the materials used in body armor must have high hardness,
light weight, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and other high performance …

Stratospheric airships are controllable lighter-than-air aircraft and have great potential
application in surveillance and communication. The envelopes, one of the main structures of …
