Analysis of behind the armor ballistic trauma.
The impact response of body armor composed of a ceramic plate with an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber-reinforced composite and layers of UHMWPE fibers shielding a block of ballistic gelatin has been experimentally and numerically analyzed. It is a surrogate model for studying injuries to human torso caused by a bullet striking body protection armor placed on a person. Pho...
متن کاملTunable Interfaces in Fiber Reinforced-polymer Composites Using Plasma Surface Treatments
Fibers incorporated into polymer matrices suffer from poor adhesion at the fiber-resin interface. In ballistic materials such as body armor, it is imperative that the fiber-resin interface is strengthened for superior energy absorbing capabilities. To address this need, fibers are typically subjected to surface modifications. The overall aim of this work is to establish a methodology of control...
متن کاملExamining the Relationship Between Ballistic and Structural Properties of Lightweight Thermoplastic Unidirectional Composite Laminates
The pursuit for lightweight personal protection (helmets, body armor, etc.) has been a key issue for the Army in recent years. Previous efforts have shown that the variation of orientation and architecture in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composite panels can significantly affect ballistic performance characteristics. In our experiments, an architecture now referred to as “A...
متن کاملComparison of Two Computational Microstructure Models for Predicting Effective Transverse Elastic Properties of Unidirectional Fiber Reinforced Composites
Characterization of properties of composites has attracted a great deal of attention towards exploring their applications in engineering. The purpose of this work is to study the difference of two computational microstructure models which are widely used for determining effective transverse elastic properties of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites. The first model based on the classic me...
متن کاملEffect of fiber architecture on flexural characteristics and fracture of fiber-reinforced dental composites.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare and elucidate the differences in damage mechanisms and response of fiber-reinforced dental resin composites based on three different brands under flexural loading. The types of reinforcement consisted of a unidirectional E-glass prepreg (Splint-It from Jeneric/Petron Inc.), an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber based biaxial braid (Conne...
