A NUMERICAL MODEL FOR BALLISTIC IMPACT RESPONSE OF COMPOSITE ARMORS
In this study, we present a numerical model to simulate the ballistic impact of a rigid right circular cylinder (RCC) projectile into a woven fabric target. The numerical solution of transverse ballistic impact on a laminar biaxial fabric is obtained using a forward finite-difference method. The bal...

| Summary: | In this study, we present a numerical model to simulate the ballistic impact of a rigid right circular cylinder (RCC) projectile into a woven fabric target. The numerical solution of transverse ballistic impact on a laminar biaxial fabric is obtained using a forward finite-difference method. The ballistic impact analysis for different materials of targets made of aramid and polyethylene fibers are simulated to investigate the effect of fabric material on the ballistic resistance. Numerical simulations are performed to reveal the influences of crimp factor and fabric material on the ballistic performance of woven fabrics. Various cases have been presented showing the variations of yarn strains, yarn velocities, and yarn displacements over time. |
