Evaluation of ballistic resistance of thermoplastic and thermoset composite panels

In this study, the ballistic resistance of composite panels made solid fabrics was investigated. experimental part, materials Twaron CT 747 TH110 impregnated with thermoplastic resin and thermoset were examined. The tested in reduced version according to NATO AEP-55 STANAG 4569 standard, protection level 1. manufactured by rifle cartridges 7.62 x 51 mm FMJ M80. high-speed camera used observe impact missiles into panel. As part evaluation experiment, damage ranges these identified. panel absorbed more energy impacting than resin. results show that resin, which composed 90 layers not penetrated missile M80 complies 4569,
