Ballistic impact mechanism is a very complex mechanical process mainly depends on the
thickness, strength, ductility, toughness and density of the target material and projectile …

Superhydrophobic and superoleophobic surfaces have so far been made by roughening a
hydrophobic material. However, no surfaces were able to repel extremely-low-energy liquids …

Multilayer graphene is an exceptional anisotropic material due to its layered structure
composed of two-dimensional carbon lattices. Although the intrinsic mechanical properties …

The use of lightweight natural fiber functional composites in the manufacturing of ballistic
protective materials has garnered significant attention in recent years. This is due to their …

In this study, the woven kenaf–Kevlar hybrid composites are prepared while vary the woven
kenaf content from 5.40 to 14.99 by volume fraction using two different arrangements …

Nowadays, composite materials are increasingly used in the most diverse areas of
engineering, where non-planar geometries begin to be quite frequent. However, the existing …

Protective body armors, providing protection against stab threats, have long been in a focus
of substantial interest. Lightweight fabric for flexible body armors that satisfy the customized …

Damage can significantly modify the behaviour of composites laminates subjected to high-
velocity impacts. Due to the high energy-absorption capability and low density of …

Increasing the inter-fiber friction of ballistic fabrics is crucial for improving their impact
shielding performance. Shear thickening fluid (STF) impregnation is commonly used to …

This paper deals with the problem of high-velocity impact of a low-mass projectile on woven
composite plates. A nondimensional formulation of two analytical models has been …
