Body armor for stab and spike protection, Part 2: a review of test methods
Textile Research Journal, 2018In many countries, stabbing is still the most common cause of homicide. It is difficult to quantify the magnitude of the force used in a stabbing incident by an alleged assailant. Pathologists describe the stabbing force using relative subjective terms, such as mild, moderate, considerable or severe.

Body armor for stab and spike protection, Part 1: Scientific literature review
Textile Research Journal, 2017Since the invention of small arms ammunition, the human torso has required protection from hand-gun bullets, and today’s civil and military personnel are regularly clad in soft body armor systems to cope with these threats. However, increasingly, the threat spectrum has widened to include a plethora of both edged and pointed weapons.

The Necessity of Stab-Resistant Body Armour for Protecting Prison Officers in Saudi Arabia
Advanced Materials Research, 2014Protection and comfort are significant aspects for body armour. This study surveyed 102 prison officers in Saudi Arabia about their opinion on the current body armour they may use in terms of protection and comfort. This is to understand the need for protection with body armour and improve protective fabric designs with enhanced comfort performance for

A new method of ergonomic testing of gloves protecting against cuts and stabs during knife use
Applied Ergonomics, 2017The paper presents a new method of ergonomic evaluation of gloves protecting against cuts and stabs during knife use, consisting of five manual dexterity tests. Two of them were selected based on the available literature and relevant safety standards, and three were developed by the authors. All of the tests were designed to simulate occupational tasks

Growth inhibitory factor (GIF) can protect from brain damage due to stab wounds in rat brain
Neuroscience Letters, 2006We examined the effect of growth inhibitory factor (GIF), also called metallothionein-III (MT-III), in brain damage using a stab wound model. The administration of 3 microM purified rat GIF (prGIF) provided significantly improved brain repair compared with controls, whereas the administration of 15 microM prGIF reduced brain repair compared with ...

Ceramic and cermet coatings on fiber fabrics used in lightweight protection should enhance their performance in stab protection. Based on thermal spray technologies a coating process for hard material layers even on temperature‐sensitive fiber substrates has been developed, so that the coated fabrics retain their flexibility.

In this study, the impact resistance of two-dimensional (2D) fabrics and three-dimensional (3D) preforms is explained. These fabrics and preforms include 2D and 3D woven and knitted flat and circular fabrics. Various types of soft/layered structures as well as rigid composite are outlined with some design examples for ballistic and stab threats.
