  • Contemporary Personal Ballistic Protection (PBP)
    Chapter 8 Contemporary Personal Ballistic Protection (PBP) Izabela Luiza Ciesielska-Wróbel Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.69085 Abstract The review concerns existing contemporary protective equipment and their compo- nents serving against ballistic and non-ballistic threats of different sorts. The main focus, however, is on the personal ballistic protection (PBP) based on textile components and their role in the protective elements. Soft ballistic protections are crucial Soft ballistic protections are crucial elements of PBP, forexample in military and law enforcements. Although the subject of PBP was limited in this chapter to soft ballistic protection, other elements, e.g. hard ballistic protection, stab-resistant vests, dual threat, so-called in-con- junction protective elements, modern helmets, were also mentioned in this chapter to demonstrate positioning of the soft ballistic protection and other elements in the global personal protection approach. Apart from it, the chapter contains selected information concerning high-performance polymers and fibres as well as a brief notes about their application in protective panels being basic elements of any protective element. The final remarks concern the most up-to-date approach in relation to ballistic protection, which is immersing high-performance fibres into non-Newtonian liquid substances having the ability of ordering their chemical particles and changing into a high concentration and high segregation lattice under the influence of kinetic energy impact. Keywords: personal ballistic protection, soft body armour, hard body armour, dual threat, stab-resistant vests, bullet-resistant vests, protective panels, high-performance fibres 1. Introduction This chapter provides selected and the most up-to-date information concerning personal ballistic protection (PBP).

  • Bulletproof Vest and Its Improvement – a Review
    ISSN: 2455-2631 © January 2016 IJSDR | Volume 1, Issue 1 Bulletproof Vest and Its Improvement – A Review Naveen Kumar Department of Mechanical Engineering JIET, Jodhpur, India Abstract – The aim of this paper to study bulletproof vest. The material Kevlar, spectra shield, twaron are used in making bulletproof vest. History of armors used in many countries. Making of Kevlar and by using it making of bulletproof vest. Study and classification of bulletproof vests - Type I, Type IIA, Type II, Type IIIA, Type III, Type IV. Quality control and tests for vest like fiber and yarn tensile strength, the tensile strength of the resultant cloth Spectra is also tested for tensile strength by the manufacturer. Bulletproof vests are tested both wet and dry. This is done because the fibers used to make a vest perform differently when wet. Tests for check quality of jacket A. Ballistic testing V50 and V0 B. Military testing: fragment ballistics. We can improve performance by using grapheme. It can absorb more impact of bullet as compare to Kevlar. UHMWPE (Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene).Recently a new fabric developed at the University of California which can make sweat away from our skin. Bullet proof vest must be durable so Cardura can be used .for waterproofing we can use Gore-Tex. Dyneema is a waterproof material if we use we can make light weight bulletproof vest as it doesn’t require waterproofing. Keywords – Kevlar, spectra, twaron, UHMWPE, Dyneema ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. Introduction Bulletproof vest is a vest which can protect wearer’s body from the impact of bullet. This vest can’t bear the total impact of bullet but it can bear most of the impact of bullet.

It had civilized lands of modern nations, rich histories decorated with artists and artisans, religion, politics and rampant urbanization. Ideology and doctrine rose up to conflagrate the age old border disputes and national tensions until full fledged war broke out. Armies marched to the front lines, ponderous mecha belching diesel fumes, and the forces clashing on battlefields of barbed wire, mud, and misery. Until One night, with the shadow of another day’s bloody dawn rising, there came a shuddering rumble and a flash of light. Millions of dancing colors scintillated in the black sky, throwing ghostly shadows dancing, and the earth shook below. The front lines of armies shattered and scattered, the borders redrew in an instant, and the continents themselves buckled and heaved. The great spine of the world snapped under the weight of war and strife. The very Airth died that fateful night. The Cataclysm broke the world open, and scattered the land itself to the heavens. In the aftermath of the mysterious ​ explosions, entire swaths of continents found themselves flying through the air, hovering over a hollow earth, the oceans and plains falling away to the cavernous planet below.

  • Ballistic Composites – Protecting the Protectors
    Reinforced Plastics Volume 61, Number 2 March/April 2017 www.reinforcedplastics.com FEATURE Ballistic composites – protecting the protectors George Marsh It seems scarcely credible that thin polymer fibers, bound together in resin, can stop projectiles ranging from a hand-gun bullet to a high-power rifle round, but they can and have done so, saving many lives in the process. Composite body armor protects a wide range of civilians from security guards to police officers and from bailiffs to VIPs. But of course, it is military forces who are the leading user group. degraded. Second is a slowing phase and third is the catching of Traditional solutions for 20th Century military armor, based the round so that it is retained within the protective garment. chiefly on steel and ceramic plates, were really too heavy for Laminates are designed to maximize the effectiveness of these soldiers, indeed for many vehicles as well. Composites have in- stages. Outer layers that provide controlled delamination on creasingly proved to be the answer, being much lighter for the impact are effective in deforming the tip of a projectile, thereby same stopping power and more pliable. Certain polymer compo- blunting it. Certain non-polymer composites, for instance those sites show, when appropriately engineered, remarkable energy that are ceramic based, may be harder than polymer composites dissipation properties, being able to absorb the kinetic energy and therefore more effective in this phase. Even so, reinforced from bullets and other high-speed projectiles before these can plastics often provide the best balance of weight, anti-ballistic harm their human targets.
