Optimizing the stacking sequence in dual-purpose body armors [PDF]
, 2013 Many police body armor systems are dual purpose, offering both ballistic and knife resistanceby combining a flexible ballistic textile pack with a stiffer knife resistant layer.The two types of protection differ in materials and mechanisms such that each

Altered countermovement jump force profile and muscle‐tendon unit kinematics following combined ballistic training [PDF]
, 2022 Combined heavy‐ and light‐load ballistic training is often employed in high‐performance sport to improve athletic performance and is accompanied by adaptations in muscle architecture. However, little is known about how training affects muscle‐tendon unit

On the ballistic performance of metallic materials
Bulletin of Materials Science, 1997 The paper presents a ballistic performance index for metallic armour materials in terms of the commonly determined mechanical properties such as strength and modulus. The index is derived using an energy-balance approach, where the kinetic energy of the projectile is assumed to be absorbed by the elastic and the plastic deformation involved in the ...

Measuring the strength of brittle materials by depth-of-penetration testing [PDF]
, 2010 Based on an energy conservation model, the strength offered by a number of brittle materials has been calculated from depth-of-penetration (DOP) test results. Each material was completely penetrated by a tungsten carbide cored projectile of known kinetic

A study on the energy dissipation of several different CFRP-based targets completely penetrated by a high velocity projectile [PDF]
, 2009 The threat of fragmenting munitions from MANPADS to civilian and military aircraft has, in recent years, become an ever increasing worry. One of the ways to enhance the protection of CFRP-based composites is to add lightweight materials that can provide ...

Isometric and Ballistic Performance in Canoeing and Weightlifting
Gazi Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Bilimleri Dergisi, 2023 Weightlifters produce strength and power in the vertical plane, while canoeists produce strength and power in the horizontal plane. The purpose of the study is to examine the difference between isometric strength and ballistic force of athletes in weightlifting and canoeing, at which strength and power production occurs in different planes. 84 athletes
