3D Woven Composites for New and Innovative Impact and Penetration Resistant Systems

Abstract

The objective of the Phase I study is to develop innovative high performance composites with superior ballistic damage tolerance capability suitable for armors and structures. Development of 3D triaxial weave composites, composite panels fabrication and testing have been completed. Good correlation of numerical simulation results with experimental data for ballistic velocity limits (V50) of plain weave and orthogonal weave panels has been demonstrated.
