- Woodhead Publishing Series in Composites Science and Engineering: Advanced Fibrous Composite Materials for Ballistic Protection (2016, Hardcover) download book PDF, DJV, MOBI
9781782424611 178242461X Advanced Fibrous Composite Materials for Ballistic Protection provides the latest information on ballistic protection, a topic that remains an important issue in modern times due to ever increasing threats coming from regional conflicts, terrorism, and anti-social behavior. The basic requirements for ballistic protection equipment are first and foremost, the prevention of a projectile from perforating, the reduction of blunt trauma to the human body caused by ballistic impact, the necessity that they are thermal and provide moisture comfort, and that they are lightweight and flexible to guarantee wearer's mobility. The main aim of this book is to present some of the most recent developments in the design and engineering of woven fabrics and their use as layering materials to form composite structures for ballistic personal protection. Chapter topics include High Performance Ballistic Fibres, Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), Ballistic Damage of Hybrid Composite Materials, Analysis of Ballistic Fabrics and Layered Composite Materials, and Multi-Scale Modeling of Polymeric Composite Materials for Ballistic Protection. Contributions from leading experts in the field Cutting edge developments on the engineering of ballistic materials Comprehensive analysis of the development and uses of advanced fibrous composite materials, The threats faced in modern times from regional conflicts, terrorism and anti-social behavior secure the importance attributed to ballistic protection. From celebrities and politicians to soldiers and police officers, ballistic protection caters for a range of needs, which require the knowledge found in cutting edge developments from leading experts in the field. Starting with an insight into the classification of high-performance fibres, woven fabrics and composites (for ballistic protection) in Part 1, Advanced Fibrous Composite Materials for Ballistic Protection delves into the manufacturing, modeling, testing and analysis of ballistic fabrics in Part 2. Finally, Part 3 divulges selected case studies on the engineering and application of ballistics fabrics, and their use as layered composite materials for personal protection. Compiling contributions from industry, government and academia, applications are discussed alongside a main focus on the engineering of fabrics and their use in composite structures. The book offers comprehensive coverage of cutting edge developments in the engineering of innovative ballistic fabrics and the design, manufacture, testing and analysis of their ballistic performance. Suitable for both academia and industry, this book appeals to material scientists, textile technologists, and ballistic scientists, manufacturers and engineers, in addition to those working in ballistics technology in university and government, or undertaking national defense research.
