Ballistic Impact Flash Characterization
51st AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference<BR> 18th AIAA/ASME/AHS Adaptive Structures Conference<BR> 12th, 2010Ballistic impact flash plays a pivotal role in the ignition of fires in military vehicles. Flash duration, geometry, and energy profiles are critical variables in the assessment of ballisticinduced fires. The survivability community has identified a need for a standardized data collection methodology and corresponding valid, community-verified, models.

Ballistic Impact of Textile Structures
Textile Research Journal, 1973Previous work on transverse impact of single textile fibers is reviewed and extended to model orthogonal weaves in which fiber crossovers are simplified as pin. joints. A dynamic finite-element computer technique previously developed for single fibers is extended to model the woven panel, and this method is shown to produce results which are in sub ...

Ballistic Impact of Thin-Walled Composite Structures
AIAA Journal, 1997Methods of analysis have been developed that provide the means to determine whether a ballistic impactor of known shape, mass, and striking velocity will penetrate a given thin-walled composite material structure and if it does, what the residual velocity of the impactor will be.

Ballistics of Transversely Impacted Fibers
Textile Research Journal, 1977The rate-independent theory of transverse impact of textile fibers is reviewed and cast in a form that provides convenient preliminary guidance to designers of impact-resistant textile structures. It is shown that energy-absorption rate increases monotonically with fiber modulus, but that decreased ductility at high modulus may result in an optimum ...

Effect of ballistic impacts on batteries and the potential for injury
BMJ Military Health, 2019Introduction On military operations, ballistic impact damage is possible to lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries worn on the body by military personnel and the potential for exothermic reactions may result in injury. This paper investigated the effect of impact on batteries that might be worn in front or behind body ...

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2014
AbstractModern ballistic helmets defeat penetrating bullets by energy transfer from the projectile to the helmet, producing helmet deformation. This deformation may cause severe injuries without completely perforating the helmet, termed “behind armor blunt trauma” (BABT).

Ballistic Impact Testing of Composite Structures
Earth & Space 2006, 2006This article deals with techniques which have been developed to study the behavior of composite materials and structures under high speed ballistic impact conditions at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) Ballistic Impact Facility. The techniques include launching systems, fixture methods, imaging systems and instrumentation systems.

On the Ballistic Impact of Textile Body Armor
Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1975A mathematical model is developed and methods of analysis are formulated for determining the structural response of textile fabric flat panels subjected to ballistic impact by a dense projectile. A stepwise procedure in time is formulated which is suitable for either desk calculator use or for a digital computer in calculating strains, projectile ...

Crack behavior of ballistically impacted ceramic
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2000A hot isostatically pressed (HIP) assembly of titanium alloy encapsulated AD995 ceramic, subjected to ballistic impact, is studied in detail. The crack behavior of ceramic confined in this way is studied in a combined experimental and computational effort. Fabrication of the HIP assembly is described.
