“…In addition, investigation of Kevlar-epoxy laminated composites modification by graphene was performed by Rahman et al [147]. Graphene and nanoclay with different weight fractions were added into the epoxy matrix of Kevlar-epoxy (KE) composite panels ( Figure 11), and the effects of these nanomaterial inclusions were evaluated for low-velocity impact, damage analysis, and UV degradation.…”

Graphene is a new, advanced material with many possible applications in basic and clinical medicine, electronics and automation. Graphene compounds can be successfully used as an integral part of drug delivery systems, in the construction of transistors, polar processors, touch screens, solar cells and in the production of materials for the manufacture of personal protective equipment, i.e. products and equipment intended to protect the health and life of users. The literature review presented in this paper concerns physical and mechanical properties of composites containing graphene or its structure as well as methods of obtaining polymer, metallic and ceramic composites doped with graphene structures. Data analysis of the potential use of graphene and its composites in personal protective equipment such as monitoring sensors, clothing and security equipment such as ballistic armor, helmets and protective clothing were also reviewed and summarized.

“…Abdul Rahman et al (2018) conducted an experimental investigation using high-velocity impacts to find the best performance order of a target made using steel (Ar500) and aluminium (Al7075 T6). An overall thickness of 25 mm was used for targets which were clamped at the boundaries and were impacted using 7.62-mm AP projectiles with a striking velocity in the range of 800-850 m/s.…”

Ballistic resistance enhancement of armours and structures has been a prominent area of research over the years. Monolithic metallic plates have been the preferred choice for armours against high-velocity projectiles. High-strength steel is a popular choice for such systems. However, the high areal density deters in accommodating such systems in practical applications which require lightweight products. On the contrary, multi-metallic systems produced by the combination of low-density materials with similar or superior ballistic resistance as their monolithic counterparts have become attractive candidates in defence applications. However, only a limited number of comprehensive studies on the ballistic performance of multi-metal multi-layered targets are available in the literature. Moreover, these studies have drawn contradictory conclusions on the optimum arrangement of different layers and materials within the systems. In addition, existing knowledge in this area is scattered in the literature and there is a need to collate them to enhance the development of multi-metal multi-layered ballistic-resistant plate systems in order to be optimised for ballistic-related armour. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the effect of different metals, thickness, fracture mechanisms, feasibility of the connection types and the order of the metallic plates within targets on the ballistic performance.

“…However, there is a lack of knowledge to address the response of aramid composites at low impact energies using dropweighted tower. Studies present in scientific literature which analyze the response of aramid composites subjected to low impact energies, have been carried out using reinforced materials such as nanoclay or graphene inclusions [1,6,7]. Reis et al [1] developed low impact velocity tests on Kevlar/epoxy composite with filled matrix, cork powder and nanoclays.…”

“…They concluded that the addition of 0.5% multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) may increase in 35% the energy absorption at ambient temperature, while the addition of 0.3% MWCNTs increase the energy absorption capability about 34% at low temperature. Recently, Rahman et al [7] analyzed the effect of nanoclay and graphene inclusions on the low-velocity impact resistance of Kevlar-epoxy laminated composites. They showed that nanoclay is more effective than graphene in impact resistance and in the absorption of impact energy.…”

This paper presents and analyses the behaviour of aramid composite plates subjected to low and medium impact energies. In order to study the material behaviour under impact loading, experimental tests have been performed using a drop-weight tower and a pneumatic gas gun within the range of impact energies (20 J E imp <<600 J). The plates are impacted by hemispherical impactor and spherical projectile for drop-weight and impact tests, respectively. The influence of areal density is also evaluated in terms of absorption energy. Energy Profile Diagrams (EPD) are used to identify the penetration and perforation thresholds enabling the definition of the nopenetration, penetration and perforation zones. The results revealed that there is a greater energy absorption capacity in thin plate than in thick plate for low impact energy values. However, areal density is relevant in the energy absorption capacity for high impact energy values.
