SYMPOSIUM ON PERSONNEL ARMOR HELD AT THE U. S. NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY OCTOBER 4-5, 1961 VOLUME I

Abstract

Contents: Characterization of textile yarns for use under ballistic impact conditions Dynamic behavior of textile fibers and structures as related to personnel armor A theoretical study of penetration and residual projectile velocities Method for obtaining yield stresses at high strain rates The dynamic properties of high tenacity yarns and their relationship to ballistic resistance Buoyant insulating body armors from staple fibers Some U. S. Army Research Office sponsored research Development of QMC composite armor vest The effect of resin concentration on physical properties of a laminated structure for a crash and ballistic protective flight helmet A set of angles of obliquity for use in assessing body armor
