Advanced Fibrous Composite Materials for Ballistic Protection, Second Edition provides the latest information on ballistic protection, a topic that remains an important issue in modern times due to ever increasing threats coming from regional conflicts, terrorism, and anti-social behavior. The basic requirements for ballistic protection equipment are, first and foremost, to prevent the projectile from perforating the armor, and to reduce blunt trauma to the human body caused by ballistic impact. The equipment also needs to be thermal and provide moisture comfort, and lightweight and flexible to guarantee the wearer’s mobility.
The main aim of this fully updated edition is to present some of the most recent research developments in the design and engineering of woven fabrics and their use as layering materials to form composite structures for ballistic personal protection. This book will be a valuable reference for materials scientists and textile technologists, ballistic scientists, manufacturers, engineers, and all those working in ballistics technology.
- Includes high velocity impact studies on STF impregnated ballistic panels
- Covers engineering and ballistic performance analysis of military and police helmets reinforced by single piece fabrics
- Provides the latest developments in Aramid and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers
- Presents additional information on the analysis of reinforcement structure (ply structure – woven and UD, and panel structure – 2D, 3D, angle-arranged plies) on ballistic performance
- Highlights approaches of use of materials, inter-fiber friction, quasi-isotropic panel formation, and hybrid panel engineering
