The Effect of Particle Strength on the Ballistic Resistance of Shear Thickening Fluids

open access: yes, 2013
The response of shear thickening fluids (STFs) under ballistic impact has received considerable attention due to its field-responsive nature. While efforts have primarily focused on the response of traditional ballistic fabrics impregnated with fluids ...

Experimental study of sandwich structures as armour against medium-velocity impacts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
An experimental impact study has been conducted on sandwich structures to identify and improve armour solutions for aeronautical applications. The objectives are to find the best configurations, i.e. the non-perforated targets with the minimal weight and

Ballistic Impact Study of an Aramid Fabric by Changing the Projectile Trajectory

open access: yesFibers
Personal protective systems widely use aramid textile fabrics, whether in soft or rigid form, to protect against various types of ballistic threats. Ballistic impact refers to a high-velocity impact caused by a thrusting source, often involving a low ...

Design of the ballistic performance of shear thickening fluid (STF) impregnated Kevlar fabric via numerical simulation

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2023
Shear thickening fluids (STFs) can effectively enhance the ballistic performance of Kevlar. Considering that the unique shear thickening effect of STF is the key factor to enhance the impact resistance of fabrics, this study sought to reveal the impact ...

The interaction between clothing and air weapon pellets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Comparatively few studies have been carried out on air weapon injuries yet there are significant number of injuries and fatalities caused by these low power weapons because of their availability and the public perception that because they need no licence

Validation of the modified digital element approach for simulating ballistic impact against fragment simulating projectile

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
A modified digital element approach (DEA) is applied to simulate fabric perforation process under ballistic impact. The previous version of the DEA is capable of simulating ballistic impact of textile fabric using rigid body spherical and cylindrical ...

Molecular Dynamics Studies of Shape Memory Polymers: From Bead–Spring Models to Atomistic Simulations

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Coarse‐grained (left) and atomistic (right) models of the shape memory polymer ESTANE ETE 75DT3 are shown schematically. The two representations bridge molecular detail and mesoscopic description. Both models capture shape memory behavior, linking segmental mobility and conformational relaxation of anisotropic chains to macroscopic recovery, and ...
