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...
