Ballistic-proof Effects of Various Woven Constructions
Authors: Chu Cheng-Kun, Chu Cheng-Kun, Chen Yu-Liang
This research tested Para-aramid (Kevlar) fibrous products of equal specifications (material and density) with respect to the influence of the fabric construction on their bulletproof behaviour. Constant speed and constant deformation energy tests were performed based... more »
