Multilayer armour system (MAS) becomes the best choice in reinforcing protection for military officers against projectile attack which has a high velocity of up to 7.62×51 mm NATO ball lead core (projectile level III NIJ standard) or AP 7.62×51 mm hard steel core (projectile level IV NIJ standard). This study aimed to analyze the damage formation of wolfram carbide (WC) ceramic and ramie fiber composites. The frontmost MAS uses WC ceramic and is enveloped by a back layer of ramie fiber composites with epoxy resin reinforcing material as the matrix. Ballistic testing was carried out in this study using a long-barreled rifle to determine the resistance of the MAS from projectile impact. The speed meter in ballistic testing uses a velocity sensor type light screen B 471 and clay witness is used to measure back face signature (BFS). The results show that 7.62 lead core and hard steel core projectiles were unable to penetrate the 3-layer ceramic MAS in the front. The results are marked by a relatively low BFS value of 1.45 and 1.17 mm, so that the energy in the MAS with 3 ceramic layer is absorbed efficiently but with the phenomenon of rupture ceramic failure. Ceramic rupture failure needs to be overcome by bonding several layers of ramie so that MAS can be used in the next stage. MAS with 1 and 2 ceramic layers are unable to withstand projectile level III and level IV NIJ standard. From these results it is known that the MAS limit can withstand the projectile level III and IV NIJ standard, namely MAS with 3 ceramic layers. The damage formation of ceramic was rupturing ceramic failure. Therefore, it is necessary to design a ceramic binder by placing some ramie fibers in front of the ceramic

“…Carbon nanotubes, graphene, and nano clay are prominent reinforcements, among many others, used for that purpose. 8 Their high-surfacearea-to-volume ratio, high specific mechanical properties, and the utility to encounter cracks at the same spatial scale enable them to offer improved properties. 9 However, their property mismatch with the matrix may promote preferential interface failure thus deteriorating the mechanical performance.…”

Carbon composites are susceptible to invisible damage development such as matrix cracking, fiber kinking, and interfacial debonding upon external transverse loading. These incipient damages may interact to evolve into life‐limiting delamination propagating both in in‐plane and transverse directions. This study addressed that by interleaving carbon/epoxy composites with electrospun nylon 6 nanofibers adopting a double infusion method. Damage resistance results showed that the optimum nanofiber areal weight (17.35 g/m2) offered a 27% improvement in specific total toughness. The emergence of pseudo‐ductility substantially enhanced the plastic toughness (46.15%) of interleaved composites. The load required for initial matrix cracking was 65.49% higher, and number of matrix cracking events was suppressed by 84.11% at the optimum areal weight of interleave. Fractography revealed frequent interlaminar crossings and delamination crack bridging as two major toughness mechanisms. Both the external damage area and delaminated area increased with increment in nanofiber areal weight.Highlights Electrospun nanofibre interleaved carbon/epoxy composites were fabricated through a double infusion method to characterize damage resistance. Acoustic data of matrix cracking was rationalized to show the effectiveness of nanofiber interleaves in suppressing this damage type. Microstructural factors and mechanisms contributing to the improved toughness of optimally interleaved composites were identified. External damage/delaminated areas of interleaved composites were correlated with nanofiber areal weights.

“…10 Nanoparticle modification of polymer matrix to ameliorate fiber-reinforced composites' physical and mechanical properties has been of interest in recent years. [30][31][32][33] Although numerous types of nanoparticles are shown to be efficient, since their discovery, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have taken much interest in various areas thanks to their superior mechanical, electrical, thermal, and magnetic properties accompanied by gradually decreasing prices. 34 CNTs dramatically enhance the mechanical character of the matrix even at minute ratios.…”

Glass/carbon fiber reinforced hybrid composites are great candidates for wind turbine blade manufacturers to make larger blades. Variation of stacking sequences ensures design freedom to the composite engineers to optimize the composite structure's mechanical performance. On the other hand, matrix modification of polymer composites with nanoparticles is also of interest to introduce multifunctional properties. This research aims to scrutinize the influence of simultaneous fiber hybridization and matrix modification on polymer composites’ tensile, flexural, and low-velocity impact properties. Hybrid glass/carbon epoxy composites and hybrid glass/carbon/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) multiscale polymer composites of stacking sequences [GCGCGC]S, [CGCGCG]S, and [G6C6] were manufactured. Fiber hybridization dramatically improved tensile strength between 51% and 76% compared to glass fiber composite. Depending on the stacking sequence, the flexural strength of the hybrid composites was improved between 10% and 16% concerning carbon fiber composite. With the introduction of MWCNTs, a slight increase in the tensile strength for unsymmetrical hybrid composites by around 5% and decreases by 7% for symmetrical ones were observed. Similar behavior was seen for bending characteristics. Additionally, low-velocity impact tests showed that it is achievable to bring greater impact peak forces up to 70% for hybrid composites than carbon fiber epoxy composites. MWCNTs modification of the matrix restrained the impact damage propagation, as proved by C-scan analysis.
