We analyze three-dimensional (3-D) deformations of soft body armor in the form of a clamped rectangular plate impacted at normal incidence by a projectile. Results have been computed by the finite elem...

Ballistic Body Armor

P O L Y M E R S Our goal is to prevent the catastrophic failure of ballistic body armor by developing measurements and predictive models to test and determine the long-term reliability of polymers used in ballistic resistant armor. Our approach, which utilizes conventional analytical techniques in addition to newly developed minimally invasive test methods, seeks to identify the chemical and me...

Rifle bullet penetration into ballistic gelatin.

The penetration of a rifle bullet into a block of ballistic gelatin is experimentally and computationally studied for enhancing our understanding of the damage caused to human soft tissues. The gelatin is modeled as an isotropic and homogeneous elastic-plastic linearly strain-hardening material that obeys a polynomial equation of state. Effects of numerical uncertainties on penetration characte...

Simulation of Bullet Impact on Bullet Resistant Steel Plate

Godrej Security Solution Division has developed bullet resistant solutions like Bullet resistant doors, Mantraps, Bullet resistant screening for banks, and bullet resistant cabins etc which are designed as per the requirements mentioned in various standards like National institute of Justice (NIJ), Underwriters Laboratory (UL), etc. These agencies have established the performance criteria and c...
