摘要
This paper presents an investigation regarding the ballistic performance of protection panels of different fabric ply numbers used in body armours. Twaron CT 710 type fabric layers of differing numbers are joined by using three stitch types to form the panels and then the panels are subjected to ballistic tests according to NIJ standards. Ballistic performance of the panels is determined by measuring trauma depth and trauma diameter. The energy absorbed by the fabric layers and the energy transmitted to the back of the fabric layers are determined from the trauma depth and trauma diameter values using a different approach. It is shown that the fabric ply number and stitching type have significant effects on ballistic properties and the effect of conditioning is limited. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
