Blast and ballistic impacts are high-strain rate events that can cause catastrophic damage to
structures and endanger human lives. Shielding materials play a critical role in mitigating the …

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 …

This paper proposes a numerical modeling method for generating the virtual fiber structures
of 3D needled nonwoven preforms. Microstructures of the preforms are investigated using …

This paper investigates the possibility of constraining yarn mobility and consequently
improving the ballistic performance by modifying the structure of the plain weaves. The …

The ballistic response against small projectiles of a hybrid laminate made up of a front layer
of a needle-punched nonwoven fabric and several layers of a woven fabric was analyzed …

Viscose and polypropylene fiber-based needlepunched nonwoven fabric mat reinforced
epoxy composites with varying mass per unit area (200, 400 and 600 g/m 2) and varying …

It is indicated that the solder joint of the metal fibrous materials is a critical factor impacting
the heat conduction. To reveal the mechanism by which solder joint sizes, solder joint skips …

In realistic scenarios, microwave absorbing structures (MAS) without mechanical designs
and electromagnetic optimization is inapplicable, indicating that MAS has to be …

The through-thickness compressive mechanism of 3D needled nonwoven fiber preforms is
complicated due to the complex fiber structure and enormous fiber-to-fiber contacts. This …

Triboelectrification has been a well-known phenomenon for a long time. Although there are
numerous debates regarding the actual mechanism involved in this, there are few …
