The Impact

This work presents the first fully validated and predictive finite element modeling framework to generate the probabilistic penetration response of an aramid woven fabric subjected to ballistic impact. This response is defined by a V0-V100 curve that describes the probability of complete fabric penetration as a function of projectile impact velocity. The exemplar case considered in this article comprises a single-layer, fully clamped, plain-weave Kevlar fabric impacted at the center by a 0.22 cal spherical steel projectile. The fabric finite element model comprises individually modeled three-dimensional warp and fill yarns and is validated against the experimental material microstructure. Sources of statistical variability including yarn strength and modulus, inter-yarn friction, and precise projectile impact location are mapped into the finite element model. A series of impact simulations at varying projectile impact velocities is executed using LS-DYNA on the fabric models, each comprising unique mappings. The impact velocities and outcomes (penetration, non-penetration) are used to generate the numerical V0-V100 curve which is then validated against the experimental V0-V100 curve obtained from ballistic impact testing and shown to be in excellent agreement. The experimental data and its statistical analysis used for model input and validation, namely, the Kevlar yarn tensile strengths and moduli, inter-yarn friction, and fabric ballistic impact testing, are also reported.

This paper investigates the ballistic impact on Kevlar multilayer three-dimensional angle-interlock woven fabric (3DAWF) by proposing the mesoscale geometrical model for the numerical simulation. Multilayer 3DAWF is designed to yarn level configuration by utilizing the membrane elements to reduce computational time and enhance accuracy. The general-purpose finite element code LS-DYNA is employed to predict the ballistic behavior of multilayer 3DAWF under ballistic penetration. The velocity evolution of the projectile, energy absorption mechanism, and failure morphology of multilayer 3DAWF are predicted and validated by the impact test results. It is found that the mesoscale model based on strain rate material models accurately reproduces the ballistic test results. Numerical simulations with strain rate effects in the yarn material properties have a higher precise prediction in the projectile's velocity, energy absorption mechanism, and failure morphology compared with traditional FEA. This study demonstrated the importance of the strain rate effect of material properties in simulating the ballistic impact on the fabric and dramatically improves the ballistic impact simulation's accuracy on fabric.

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.
