Virtual ballistic impact testing of Kevlar soft armor: Predictive and validated finite element modeling of the V0-V100 probabilistic penetration response

This works presents the first fully validated and predictive capability to model the V0-V100 probabilistic penetration response of a woven fabric using a yarn-level fabric finite element model. The V0-V100 curve describes the probability of complete fabric penetration as a function of projectile imp...
