The present research aimed to investigate the effect of stitching angle and stacking sequence of stitched layers on high velocity impact behavior of composites reinforced by glass woven fabrics. To study the effect of stitching angle on ballistic impact behavior, six different angles of (0°), (90°), (45°), (0°,90°), (±45°) and (0°,90°,±45°) were chosen as stitching angles. These stitching angles were applied on eight layers of glass woven fabric. To study the effect of stacking sequence of stitched layers, a different number of layers were stitched together with the angle of 0°. Unstitched and stitched composites were exposed to high velocity impact with 180 m/s using a spherical projectile. The residual velocity of projectile and dimensions of damage area on the composites’ front and back sides were measured. It was found that the sample with the 45° stitching angle had the best behavior against ballistic impact and its energy absorption was significantly higher than the other samples. Stitching also reduces damage area in front and back sides of the composites and inhibits delamination.

The Kevlar is an organic high crystalline fiber belonging to the aromatic polyamide family extensively used for its strength. Kevlar fiber posses high cut resistance and flame resistance, hence they have a wide range of application in ballistic and defense[2]. This paper investigates how K-149 behaves mechanically under sudden high velocity impact, it also shows which types of Kevlar grade hold the maximum impact stiffness capacity. In addition it also predicts the stress induced on the specimen at the time of impact. The ballistic impact object considered as 9mm standard size bullet used in short gun. The assumed velocity for these cases is 650m/s. The specimens K-149 & k-49 taken to be rectangle with the standard size 50 mm x 50 mm. The computational analysis done on Kevlar 49 & 149 and the results have been compared with the help of the pictorial representation of post processing abaqus results and the best ballistic material can be chosen. This paper also provided the recommended research data to fill the technology gap in defense material science.

In the current study, the effects of stacking sequence layers of hybrid composite materials on ballistic energy absorption, which were fabricated from Kevlar, carbon, glass fibres and resin have been experimentally investigated at the high velocity ballistic impact conditions. All the samples have equal mass, shape and density, but they have different stacking sequence layers. After running the ballistic test in the same conditions, the final velocities of the bullets showed that how much energy absorbed by the samples. The energy absorption of each sample through the ballistic impact has been calculated, accordingly , the decent ballistic impact resistance materials could be found by conducting the test. This paper can be further studied in order to characterise the material properties.
