This study presents the dynamic stab resistance and quasi-static mechanical properties of
soft armor materials constructed with Kevlar fabric impregnated with a novel shear …

This study presents some soft armour panel design strategies using shear thickening fluid
(STF) reinforced Kevlar® fabric. The effect of size of silica nano and sub-micron particles on …

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 …

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 …

Shear thickening liquid (STF) is a reversible phase change material that can realize “liquid-
solid” transformation when subjected to high-speed impact shear, and return to the liquid …

Shear thickening fluid (STF) is a dense colloidal suspension of nanoparticles in a carrier
fluid in which the viscosity increases dramatically with a rise in shear rate. Due to the …
