“…In this analysis, the general coefficient of quality (GSQ) and the general quality class (GQC) were determined in order to select the optimal variants of the soft and hard ballistic inserts. MCA was performed according to methodology described in [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”

“…The general coefficient of quality (GSQ), quality class, and sectional coefficient of quality (SCQ) were determined in accordance with the methodology presented by Struszczyk et al [ 21 ] and Zurek et al [ 24 ]. Generally, the GSQ and SCQ ranges are estimated to be between 0 and 1, where 0 is the worst quality and 1 is the ideal quality.…”

A high protection level without an excessive weight is a basic assumption in the design of modern armors and protection systems. Optimizing armors is a task of development of the utmost importance, and is the subject of the work contained within this article. Optimization of ballistic inserts was carried out using multicriterial analysis (MCA), which enables the selection of the optimal composition, taking into account properties such as ballistic resistance, physicomechanical, and/or functional properties. For this purpose, various types of composite systems were produced and tested in terms of their fragment-resistant properties according to STANAG 2920 and the composite areal density of different ballistic inserts: Soft inserts made of Twaron® para-aramid sheets, hard ballistic inserts made of multilayer hot-pressed preimpregnated sheets, and hybrid hard ballistic inserts prepared on the basis of multilayer hot-pressed preimpregnated sheets and ceramics. The application of MCA and performance of experimental fragment resistance tests for a wide spectrum of para-aramid inserts are part of the novelty of this work. The obtained test results showed that depending on the composition of the composite system, we could obtain a wide range of fragmentation resistance in the range of 300 to >1800 m/s, which depended on the areal density and type of composite system used. The results also confirmed that MCA is a good computational tool to select the optimal design of para-aramid ballistic inserts.

“…Increasing the thickness of the material, the ballistic resistance will increase, but at the same time, the total weight will increase. This will cause a decrease in the mobility of the individual and military equipment [1,2,3,4,5].…”

“…In order to increase the ballistic resistance and reduce the weight of the ballistic means, the materials are combined into panel systems to create multilayer armor with specific properties. These armors are designed to protect against small-caliber armor-piercing missiles from short and long firearms [5,6]. Multi-layer armor combines the properties of hard materials (steel, ceramics) and malleable materials (polymers).…”

In this study, the ballistic resistance of composite panels made of solid fabrics was investigated. In the experimental part, the materials Twaron CT 747 TH110 impregnated with thermoplastic resin and Twaron CT 747 impregnated with thermoset resin were examined. The ballistic resistance of the composite panels was tested in the reduced version according to the NATO AEP-55 STANAG 4569 standard, protection level 1. The manufactured composite panels were tested by the rifle cartridges 7.62 x 51 mm FMJ M80. The high-speed camera was used to observe the impact of the missiles into the panel. As part of the evaluation of the experiment, the damage ranges of these panels were identified. The composite panel made of Twaron CT 747 TH110 impregnated with thermoplastic resin absorbed more energy of the impacting missiles than the panel made of Twaron CT 747 impregnated with thermoset resin. The results show that the panel made of Twaron CT 747 TH110 impregnated with thermoplastic resin, which was composed of 90 layers was not penetrated by the missile 7.62 mm M80 and complies with NATO AEP-55 STANAG 4569, protection level 1.
