Advanced Materials for Composite Armour
, 2009 PhDComposite integral armour plays an important role in future combat system. Despite numerous experimental studies there are still disadvantages such as complex manufacturing process, relatively big damage area, difficult to repair and limit shape etc.

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Needle punching reorients fibers from in‐plane direction toward z‐direction of the web, resulting in mechanical interlocking of fibers and reduction in the nonwoven mat thickness. ABSTRACT Replacement of glass fiber mats, utilized in large and complex composite parts in the transportation industry, with natural fiber mats requires knowledge of natural ...

Glass ceramic armour systems for light armour applications [PDF]
, 2001 This paper descries an experimental evaluation of lithium-zinc-silicate glass ceramics when used as the strike face of an armour system. It is shown that against soft cored 7.62mm rounds (lead or mild steel cores) glass ceramics offer protection at an ...

Performance of Glass Fiber Composites With Plastic‐Waste Pyrolysis Char as Filler
Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Valorisation of mixed plastic waste into carbonaceous char via pyrolysis, its integration as a microfiller in epoxy/E‐glass (GFRP) laminates, and characterisation to assess composite performance as a function of filler loading. ABSTRACT Plastic pyrolysis offers circular solutions for mixed plastic waste but leaves a carbonaceous char that is often ...

Ballistic Limit Estimation Approaches for Ballistic Resistance Assessment
, 2020 The armour technologist conducts ballistic impact testing either for evaluating armour materials and systems or for studying material’s defeating mechanism. Most standards make use of the ballistic limit velocity for ballistic assessment.

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Textile‐waste Orlon is transformed into recycled PAN nanofiber interleaves for tougher and more damage‐resistant adhesive bondlines. ABSTRACT This study presents a sustainable toughening strategy for adhesively bonded CFRP joints by using electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber interleaves produced from virgin PAN (vPAN) and recycled PAN (rPAN ...

A Thoracic Mechanism of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Due to Blast Pressure Waves
, 2008 The mechanisms by which blast pressure waves cause mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are an open question. Possibilities include acceleration of the head, direct passage of the blast wave via the cranium, and propagation of the blast wave to

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.Hydrolytic aging in seawater produces markedly different mechanical responses among commercial Aramid fibers. While some fibers exhibit progressive degradation, others maintain stable or even improved tensile behavior. Experimental yarn‐scale testing combined with mathematical degradation modeling and Arrhenius‐based lifetime prediction provides new ...
