Numerical code simulates ballistic impact on multiple-layer fabrics, suggesting improved design strategies.
A numerical code has been developed to model the complex behavior of woven fabric panels subjected to ballistic impact. The code has the ability to model multiple-layer fabric panels, multiple projectile geometries, and fabric imperfections such as yam slippage at crossovers and also at clamps. A discussion of the numerical methodology is presented, along with the results of numerical simulations of impact on single and multiple-layer fabrics, with and without resin impregnation.
