Factors influencing the ballistic impact mechanisms of textile composite materials: a review

“…3D fabrics : With the development of newer computational and experimental methods, the ballistic behavior of 3D weaves have become more intriguing which is due to the better resistance to impact loads of 3D textiles as shown in Figure 5 and are well documented for 3D angle interlock woven composites (3DAIWC), 112‐117 3D orthogonal woven composites (3DOWC), 118‐123 3D braided, 124‐126 3D fabrics fully/partially interlaced 124 as well as 3D multi‐axial knitted composites, 1,127 which are far superior as compared to the 2D structures.…”

Experiment and Simulation of Erosion Mechanism and Deformation Characteristics in Al6061-T6 beam due to Rhomboid Particle Impacts

“…At present, the research on thin plate impacted by moving objects focuses more on high-speed impact conditions such as impact damage of flying objects on aircraft structure [12,13] , bullet penetration [14] , and hypervelocity impact collapse of space debris fragments on spacecraft shielding [15] , which results in large deformation or even penetration of the thin substrate. However, there are few researches on the erosion wear of the surface of thin plate substrates such as cantilever beams and fixed-fixed beams impacted by angular particles under medium and low speed conditions (5m/s~60m/s).Cantilever beam and fixed-fixed beam, as easily deformable thin plate constructs, will undergo elastic-plastic deformation and exhibit reciprocating vibration behavior after being impacted by objects, which, in essence, is the internal conversion of energy with different forms.…”

Multi‐scale modeling of three‐dimensional angle interlock woven composite subjected to ballistic impact using FEM

“…With the development of newer computational and experimental methods, the ballistic behavior of 3D weaves has become more intriguing which is due to the better resistance to impact loads of 3D textiles and are well documented for 3DAIWC which have been reported by several researchers. [15][16][17][18][19][20] Luan et al 15 Similarly, Chen and Yang 22,23 proposed and concluded that 3DAIWF have better resistance than the 2D plain woven fabrics. Tang et al 24 investigated the failure modes of 3DAIWC undergoing transverse impact load with FEA and experimentations.…”

“…The 3D weaves have better energy absorption as compared to the 2D plain woven composite because the z ‐direction yarns maintain the laminate structural integrity and provide better resistance through fiber breakage, fiber cracking, and delamination. With the development of newer computational and experimental methods, the ballistic behavior of 3D weaves has become more intriguing which is due to the better resistance to impact loads of 3D textiles and are well documented for 3DAIWC which have been reported by several researchers 15‐20 . Luan et al 15 analyzed the 3DAIWC of Twaron fibers when subjected to ballistic impact by conical‐cylindrical projectile using multiscale modeling.…”
