“…Recently, several authors have studied the influence of layer orientation on the ballistic performance and energy absorption. [76][77][78][79] In their research, Wang et al investigated the ballistic impact resistance of multilayered woven aramid layers depending on the layers' orientation. They proved that the ply orientations highly affect the capacity of energy absorption of the multilayered soft panel.…”

Ballistic clothing is a crucial safety element that helps to save lives of its wearers. According to the protection level, the ballistic vest is reinforced by one or two armor panels designed to resist to attacks destinated to upper parts of the body. The resistance behavior of ballistic body armor depends on several factors. The most important factors are related to the ballistic fabric properties such as the type of fabric, its thickness, its structure, its strength and strain, and the type of the employed resin. In this review paper, the factors influencing the ballistic performances of soft armor panel and hard armor panel are presented. They are investigated based on an in-depth review of previous research studies and experimental test results. This paper also reports the various methods developed by the researchers to improve the performance of ballistic materials. Thus, ballistic material manufactures and researchers could find some guidelines on promising materials and structures that can be used to build efficient body armors.

“…In the recent years, industries actively attempt to reduce the dependence on petroleum based fuels and products due to the increasing environmental consciousness. This leads to the need to investigate environmentally friendly and sustainable materials to replace the existing synthetic fibres [1][2][3]. The increase of production and usage of plastics in every sector of our daily life lead to massive plastic wastes.…”

Natural fibres have the potential aspect to replace glass fibre reinforced composites. One of these fibers is kenaf. It is also one of the selected natural fibres that have bio resource profit regarding on their capability to absorb energy absorption especially. In order to prove the application of this fiber for the load-bearing application, the fiber in the form of yarn is weaved into fiber mat and reinforced with the plastic resin. This study focused on the twill yarn kenaf woven composite structure. Composites were prepared using the hand lay-up method with different type of orientation where the orientation is designed using Taguchi method. The hardened composites were cured for 24 hours in an ambient temperature before it was shaped according to ASTM D3039. The samples were then stressed uni-axially to obtain the stress-strain curves. The result shows the fiber orientations were significant factor in determining the performance of tensile strength. In this work, fiber mats are then optimized and the results showed that the values of tensile and modulus strength were 55.738 MPa and 5761.704 Joule, which is increased 3.77% and 4.23% for tensile strength and Young modulus, respectively. By comparing fracture mechanism before and after optimizations, there was clear decreasing fracture surface. It indicated that, the mechanical behavior performances of the twill woven kenaf reinforced composites can be effectively improved by this method.

This paper presents crushing performances of hybrid woven kenaf fibre reinforced aluminium tubes under axial and oblique compression. According to open literature, lack number of works conducted to study the crushing responses when kenaf fibre in the form of woven is used to reinforce aluminium tubes. There are important parameters are used such as fibre orientations and oblique compression angles. Kenaf fibre in the form of woven is firstly wetted with polyester resin before it is wrapped around the tubes. After composite hardened, the hybrid tubes are quasi-statically compressed and force-displacement curves are recorded. Energy absorption performances are then determined and discussed in term of different fibre orientations and oblique angles. It is found that [r30 o ] fibre orientations capable to produce higher force-displacement responses and hybrid tubes are produced lower force ratio indicating the role of natural fibre in increasing the capability of energy absorptions.
