An analytical model for ballistic impacts against plain-woven fabrics with a polymeric matrix

Finite element analysis of hybrid 3D orthogonal woven composite subjected to ballistic impact with multi‐scale modeling

“…The discrepancies in the values of the residual velocities may be due to different assumptions such as different damage criteria, usage of basket weave as compared to plain weave for Kevlar as used by Millan et al 33 and different elements selections for the bullet. The trend of residual velocity with the present research is showing a similar trend as predicted by many researchers, like Bresciani et al, 5,40 Bandaru et al, 14,48 Dewangan and Panigrahi, 25,35,60,61 Kumar et al, 86 and Naik and Doshi 87 , thus established the proposed modeling technique. An equivalent number of elements are used for the 2D composites so that the modeling techniques can be utilized to model the 3D composites.…”

“…They enlightened the effect of shear strength on the ballistic response of the composites during ballistic impact. The literature review enlightens on numerous aspects that influence on properties and the dynamic reaction of material composites incorporating different analytical solutions, 38‐42 numerical, 43,44 and experimental methods 45‐48 and, are extensively explained in the review articles 15,49‐53 . In general, to convey much better quality for ballistic protection, various studies are conducted in the form of yarns, fabrics, matrix, and composites.…”

“…Following this, an overview of the projectile parameters is presented, which will influence the impact mechanism. The literature review enlightens numerous aspects that influence on properties and the dynamic reaction of material composites incorporating several analytical solutions, 4,16‐19 numerical 20,21 and experimental methods 22‐25 and, are extensively explained in the review articles 2,26‐30 . In general, to convey much better quality for ballistic protection, various studies are conducted in the form of yarns, fabrics, matrix, and composites.…”

Analytical and numerical modelling of high-velocity impact on multilayer alumina/aramid fiber composite ballistic shields: Improvement in modelling approaches

“…Feli et al [15] improved that model by adding a new energy formulation for the composite backing based on yarns displacement and strain. Bresciani et al [16] improved the energy formulation based on the wave propagation theory. Moreover, Liaghat et al [17] developed a new formulation for the penetration resistance of the comminuted ceramic based on an expansion cavity model, and Naik et al [18], studying a ceramic-GFRP protection with a rubber interlayer and a composite cover, proposed to model the ceramic absorption mechanisms with an energy formulation.…”

“…In the analytical model, an original formulation has been used to simulate the penetration of the ceramic tile by the projectile, especially addressing erosion of both ceramic and projectile. The analytical model exploits the wave propagation theory, which has been widely used to address high-velocity impact on composite targets [16,[25][26][27], but is rarely found for ceramic/composite targets [18]. Another novelty aspect of the model, is the implementation of the formation of a double V-tent on the composite to include the direct contact between projectile and composite backing, travelling at different speeds.…”
