Experimental Investigation of Transverse Loading Behavior of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Yarns

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) Dyneema<sup>®</sup> SK-76 fibers are widely used in personnel protection systems. Transverse ballistic impact onto these fibers results in complex multiaxial deformation modes such as axial tension, axial compression, transverse compressi...
