“…Hepper et al. [11] explained the methods of reducing the effects of energy transfer from a projectile, which can be categorized in two ways. One is to elevate energy absorption through breaking, stretching, and compressing the protective materials, or extending the time over which the impact energy is applied to the body.…”

This study was carried out to understand and evaluate the response of 3 D woven fabrics upon the simulated ballistic forces. Under the low-velocity impact, analytical and numerical models were developed for determining the impact energy, which was used to evaluate the ballistic impact of projectile onto multiple-layered woven fabric panels based on the ballistic impact of single textile yarns. The behavior of primary and secondary yarns in a fabric under the ballistic impact was analyzed by both the models. The mechanisms of failure and energy dissipation of Kevlar fabric subjected to low-velocity impact were numerically investigated by using the ABAQUS platform as a tool of finite element method (FEM). The results obtained from numerical and analytical approaches were validated against experimental value which showed a good agreement.

Previous studies show that fabric construction is one of the key factors affecting the performance of ballistic fabrics. In order to investigate the effect of yarn gripping in fabrics, plain woven narrow fabrics with different widths have been designed and studied. In terms of narrow fabrics, it was found that narrower fabric demonstrates better performance than wider ones under low impact energy due to the better weft yarn gripping effect of the selvages. In the case of higher impact energy, wider narrow fabric shows better ballistic performance in having sufficient material to dissipate the impact energy. Different ballistic panels were made for ballistic testing, with each panel only formed from the same fabric. Performance of narrow fabric panels is disappointing compared to the broad fabric panel due to the discontinuity of the fabric material. A novel broad fabric has been engineered providing both enhanced yarn gripping and material continuity. Tests showed that panels made from such fabrics have improved performance against both back face deformation and projectile penetration.
