“…In case of the N-panel, it is obvious that stitching significantly lowered the BFS, but at the expense of the flexibility. 5 Stitching of S/N-and N/S-panels did not show Figure 6. Effect of STF add-on on the maximum pullout force (STF containing 67.5 wt% silica particle, pullout rate of 10-1000 mm/min).…”

The objective of this research was to characterize the ballistic performance of p-aramid fabrics impregnated with shear thickening fluid (STF) focusing on the laminating sequence of the layers. A panel of all neat Kevlar fabrics and two hybrid panels of neat and STF impregnated Kevlar fabrics were tested against 9 mm bullets at 436 m/s for body armor application. When the STF impregnated fabrics were laminated behind the neat Kevlar layers (N/S-panel), the backface signature decreased compared to the panel of all neat fabrics (N-panel) and the hybrid panel with neat Kevlar layers placed on the backside of the panel (S/N-panel). The enhanced ballistic performance of the N/S-panel was assumed to be due to the synchronized (or coupled) elongation of the facing yarns in the frontal layers and those in the following rear layers during the impact. Analysis was carried out, by adapting the method of accumulating successive line segments, to present the energy dissipation route of each panel during the impact.

“…Stitching of multiple layers of woven fabrics together can improve the interlaminar fracture toughness. Plain woven Kevlar fabricsrubber composite were demonstrated to have higher ballistic performance than that of unstitched fabrics, due to diamond stitching of the Kevlar fabrics, (Ahmad, 2007).…”

“…Thus, many studies have focused on improving the fiber properties, in particular stiffness and strength [13,14] and heat resistance [15]. On the other hand, the effect of fabric structure, including textile laminating and stitch pattern [16][17][18][19][20][21][22], weaving pattern (and resulting elastic properties) [23,24], and uncertainty of textile [25], on ballistic and stab resistance have been investigated to design the soft body armor. Although these endeavors have improved the bullet and stab resistance of soft body armor, further improvement is still needed.…”

Shear-thickening fluid-impregnated aramid (STF-im-AR) fabrics have been manufactured for advanced soft body armor applications for which they provide improved ballistic and stab resistances. It is not yet clear whether or not such improvements can be attributed solely to the STF. In this study, the rate-dependent behavior of an STF-im-AR fabric was investigated at the fabric level, using uniaxial tensile, bias-extension, and picture-frame tests. Rate-dependent behavior of the STF-im-AR fabric was observed during uniaxial tensile testing; however, the effect of the STF treatment was slight and consistent with only the inherent effect of the polymeric nature of its constituent fibers. The shear rigidity of the STF-im-AR fabric increased, due to the presence of the STF and the sensitivity of the fabric's shear stiffness to changes in the shear strain rate also increased slightly. This rate-sensitive shear stiffness of STF-im-AR fabrics may contribute to improved ballistic and stab resistances.
